Arriving without warning and open only at night, Le Cirque du Rêves (The Circus of Dreams) is filled with marvels and mysteries too amazing to be real. It is also the venue for a competition between Celia and Marco, two young magicians pitted against one another by their teachers, bonded and trained for this since childhood. Locked in a battle with so much at stake—life, death, the very fabric of reality—the last thing they should ever do is fall in love.
