A mysterious circus that only opens at night becomes the arena for a secret, lifelong magical duel between two young illusionists, Celia and Marco, who were bound to the competition as children by their ruthless mentors. As the circus grows ever more elaborate with each magical addition they create, the two competitors fall deeply in love, not realizing that the rules of their game may force one of them to be destroyed. Told through shifting timelines and multiple perspectives, the novel is more about atmosphere, wonder, and yearning than fast-paced plot.
