The Game of Oaths

PRE-ORDER NOW!

The high-stakes of The Hunger Games. The rich magical setting of Caraval. The ensemble cast of Six of Crows.

Power, revenge and sisterhood combine in this heart-pounding YA fantasy debut, set in a magical circus in Belle Epoque Paris.

Trapeze artist Falan Sunkara is a performer in Paris's famous magical circus, le Cirque des Ombres. Le Cirque is ruled by Jean-Pierre, ringmaster and Enchanteur, one of the few magicians in the city legally allowed to use magic for entertainment. But the glamour of the circus is just another illusion. Each year, twelve members must compete in the Game of Oaths, a brutal tournament watched by the city's elite. Only one will survive.

Last year, Falan's sister was one of the unlucky eleven. This year, Falan is out for revenge.
