What to expect
Circus performer Mira has spent her life on the run. She is determined to secure her future by competing in the deadly Trials and winning a place in one of the three magical royal Orders.
Princess Scarlett is fighting to withstand her half-brothers' sinister ambitions and seize power. Mira is the opportunity she's been waiting for - a dangerous outsider poised to cleave apart the foundations of the Court.
As Mira and Scarlett navigate a glittering world of magic, intrigue and forbidden romance, they must decide if they are co-conspirators or rivals in a bloody bid for the throne. Will they sacrifice everything - even their own lovers - for power and revenge?
Only one thing is certain: not everyone will survive.
