"Ladies and gentleman!" A male voice echoed throughout the orange and yellow stripped tent. You could feel the excitement and mystery rise in the air as a man stepped out of the mist that seemed to wrap itself around the audience. He wore a long, red tailcoat, a dark purple button-up shirt that was tucked in his sleek black trousers, black dress shoes, purple and black stripped top hat, and in his right palm he held a long gold staff that at the top held a purple transparent ball. "Welcome to Cirque De Les Secrets! My name is Martin and I will be your guide this evening." He chuckled darkly as he said the word guide, adding more mystery to the air. "Now, remember that one you enter, you can not leave- not until the show is over." His voice bellowed, a slight Spanish accent audible. "Now, let the show," he stepped back into the heavy mist," begin." My name is Angela. Angela Monaè. I'm an acrobat in the most famous circus known on earth- Cirque De Les Secrets. Translation: Circus of Secrets. A show full of wonder, mystery, and excitement. If only they knew what lies beyond those black curtains. Beyond that façade, is a deadly way of what we call life. Its a place where everyone has a secret that could get you killed. My secret? I'm cursed. The only person who knows is Martin- the ringmaster. And he never lets me forget it. But I have a plan- one that will rid me of that burden and set me free. But... I can't do it alone. In order for my plan to work, I'll either have to earn the trust and support from everyone else in the circus or I will have to blackmail them. And that is a very deadly game I will have to play.

Long ago, the Kingdom of Alagil was cursed by a Dragon for their greed and lust for power, the Royal Family having seized the entirety of Gold Thread she made for the public, keeping it for themselves. The Dragon gave the Royals sixteen years to better themselves and teach their heir to the thone to be an honest, caring individual. If the Princess was coronated with a selfish heart everyone in the castle who had done wrong to the people would die. The top three Witches of the court decided on a plan to save the Princess and everyone else included in the curse, taking the spindle it is bound to and altering the curse so that, if it struck, they would all fall into an eternal slumber. Fifteen years later, Briar Rose is shocked to learn that the biggest threat to her daily life isn't Dragons swooping down from the sky to eat her or dying from boredom out in the middle of the woods. It's a curse that can lead to her whole countries decimation. Having been born with the Gift for Magic, she was trained to be a Curse Breaker by proclamation of High King Henric himself and now knows that her Godmothers have been preparing her to fight the Curse the Dragon bestowed at that ill-fasted Ball all those years ago. With one year to get the most practical experience possible in Curse Breaking, Briar Rose heads out with the map her Godmothers gave her, tracking down places of extreme curses while they head back to Skyfort, the castle where the cursed spindle resides, to protect it from those who would inadvertently worsen the curse they struggled to amend. Will she succeed at breaking the Curse and make her life her own or is the magic of Dragons to much for a Mortal to hope to overcome?
