About The Night Circus: Le Cirque des Rêves—the circus of dreams—is a magical place that enchants visitors and performers alike. Arriving without notice, it slips into town and is only open from dusk until dawn. The circus is a fantastical compound of black-and-white striped tents, each holding a unique and
breathtaking marvel. Yet beneath the surface of this shimmering entertainment paradise seethes a mysterious force: the force of magic, both real and illusory.
Celia and Marco have been raised to perform magical feats: Celia by Hector Bowen, her magician father who performs as Prospero the Enchanter, and Marco by the mysterious man in the grey suit, who plucked him from an orphanage to train in the arts of magic. Unbeknownst to Celia and Marco, they are pawns in a bet made between the two aging magicians; contestants in a challenge only one can survive. And when they fall in love, they must figure out how to overcome the diabolical plans that have been laid out for them. As they search for a way out of their deadly predicament, they set off a chain of events that threatens the lives of everyone connected to the enchanting circus they hold so dear.
