Step right up. But watch your step. The performance is everything. But in this circus, the greatest trick is staying alive. For those who don't quite fit in our small world, there is only The Marvelous Marvels-a traveling spectacle of tattered velvet, impossible feats, and whispers you swear are coming from the stars. Janie Morgan is a headstrong traveling loner until she meets Alex, a like-minded dreamer with aspirations of constructing his musical invention. She's an amateur aerialist and he's a unique musician. Their friendship strengthens as they team up and gig their talents for money to travel to Fimaldi Hunu, a place where each of them feel certain they'll find success. After a serendipitous encounter on a train, they find themselves auditioning for a circus that just might get them there. The strange troupe is full of talents and magic unlike any other. Its controlling ringmaster, Reginald Mandeville, runs his show like a tyrant. Will Janie and Alex handle the stops the circus makes in eery towns, unite with the misfit performers of the troupe, and manage not to get kicked out? Killed? Or worse, Janie slowly realizes... separated. Also by J.E. Miller: Kaleidoscope Kyte's - Book Two of The Marvelous Marvels Series Ringmaster's Rise - Book Three of The Marvelous Marvels Series
