'Remember it's all a game. What happens beyond this gate may frighten or excite you, but don't let any of it trick you.'
Once a year the infamous Master Legend hosts Caraval - open only to those who have been invited. This year the week-long game is on Legend's glittering Isla de los Sueños, where the winding streets are an elaborate snow-covered maze and the people are never who they seem.
At midnight on the first day, the show begins and the visitors become players. Each of them is vying for the coveted prize: a single wish. All they must do is unravel the mystery of Caraval. But in a game where danger hides behind every charming smile, winning isn't without loss, and their wish might be their last...
'A story rich with sumptuous detail, beautifully written' Renée Ahdieh, author of The Wrath and the Dawn
'Decadent and enchanting . . . CARAVAL will sink its teeth into you, and you will not want to leave' Roshani Chokshi, author of The Star-Touched Queen

Recenzii
Enchanting and mysterious, Stephanie Garber's Caraval is a story rich with sumptuous detail, beautifully written
In a book where nothing is at it appears, one thing is certain: Caraval is the darkly enchanting adventure you've been looking for!
Intoxicating. Darkly magical. Caraval walks the knife-edge between fantasy and reality. Within mere pages, I gladly lost myself in this perfect labyrinth of a plot. Stephanie Garber doesn't just dazzle - she makes me believe
A decadent and enchanting tale. Caraval will sink its teeth into you, and you will not want to leave
Caraval shimmers with magic. This is an inventive, delightful tale with several aces up its sleeve
I love this novel . . . It's a thing of beauty and the stuff of dreams
Like the Carousel of Roses at the heart of the party, the language is colourful, giddy and with the occasional barb. And like a fairy story, Caraval reveals dark truths behind a playful, glittering surface
[A] magnificent debut novel . . . intriguing characters, an imaginative setting and evocative writing combine to create a spellbinding tale of love, loss, sacrifice, and hope
Advance word on Stephanie Garber's Caraval has been nothing short of ecstatic, and in this case, we're glad we believed the hype. It is a lush romantic fantasy, exquisitely written, inhabited by a cast of marvellously colourful characters
Even after a brilliant year for the fantastical in literature, it remains a firm favourite. Earning early comparisons to The Night Circus, Caraval is far more than just more of the same magical showmanship - this is a wonderfully deft, mesmerising, and beautifully told tale of love, loss, and the impossible. Scarlett's search for her missing sister, and the truth behind the mysterious Caraval show, is one to savour
A tale of sisterly devotion painted in colors of cerise and shimmering gold. If you ever wondered how it would feel to step into a living dream, here's your ticket
