Chapter 5: The Night Circus
In the backdrop of the Victorian Era, the circus arrives without a warning. It is a magical spectacle that tears the breath from the world’s chest and spreads wonder in the world. But it is much more. Inside the intricate tents, two magicians, Celia and Marco, are fighting for their life and honor against each other, in a mystical game others set for them a long time ago. When, however, they realize that the threads that tie them are wrapped around their necks they decide to step back, as young love is blooming and the stakes rise higher. However, all magic comes with a price, and each choice they make will shape not only the circus and its audience but the whole world.
