A dazzling, high-octane read filled with death-defying acrobatics, circus crowds with an appetite for disaster, and two forbidden teenage lovers trying to escape the shackles of their very different lives.

A moving, dramatic and brave debut tale that will appeal to readers of "The Hunger Games" and "Noughts & Crosses". Set in a near-future England where the poorest of people are forced to sell their children to the travelling circus. When two teenagers from vastly different worlds fall in love, they must join together and escape the circus, putting an end to its brutal and unforgiving sport.
