A people sick of hiding. A tyrant hell-bent on destroying them. What happens when they reach their breaking point?
Rae Freeman is one of the Magicae. She travels with the Circus, saving more and more of her people from Kamore’s dictator, Myra Falkenwrath, as they perform across the country. As a fire Crafter, her flames are always at her fingertips while she performs on the trapeze. If only they were enough to make up for her father’s mistakes and destroy the tyrant spreading lies and fear about her people.
But as Rae and the Circus draw closer to their haven city for the winter off-season, change is in the air. How much more can Rae take before she propels the Magicae into fighting for their place in a broken world?
