But her circus is teetering toward bankruptcy and desperately needs her, too.

If her trust is misplaced and she's unmasked, everyone she loves and everything she's fought for could crash.To survive, Amandine must draw upon all of her circus and Seeker skills. But can a pacifist defend her violent enemies to stop a civil war?
