DESCRIPTION
the second in this genre-defying, escapist fantasy trilogy set in a Victorian-era circus 'Lam vividly draws a tale like no other' SARAH REES BRENNAN
In the second installment of the Micah Grey Trilogy from the award-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author of Dragonfall, Micah must learn two types of magic - one for the stage, and one with deadlier consequences - while navigating a tender new love
In the second instalment of the Micah Grey Trilogy from the award-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author of Dragonfall, Micah must learn two types of magic - one for the stage, and one with deadlier consequences - while navigating a tender new love.
Old magics are waking. Will the world survive their return?
Micah Grey almost died when he fled the circus with Drystan. Now he and the ex-clown must use Glamours to disguise themselves and hide in the once-grand Kymri Theatre, run by a once-renowned magician, Jasper Maske.
Micah and Drystan wonder if Maske's stage magic is all smoke and mirrors, but when Maske's arch-nemesis challenges him-and by extension, Micah and Drystan-to a duel, they might truly discover the line between trickery and real power.
Meanwhile, the Shadow still haunts Micah's steps, and as the duel draws near, Micah increasingly suffers from dark visions. Events that destroyed the ancient world are being replayed. Can Micah's latent powers break this deadly pattern that will seal all their fates?
In this rich and evocative second novel of the Micah Grey series, L.R. Lam blends a coming-of-age story, queer romance, and magical powers into a charming and original fantasy world, inspired by Victorian Scotland.
