Tegids are supposed to be invincible. But Chiara isn’t.
At thirteen, she was diagnosed “Stunted,” expelled from Belkar Acrobatics Academy, and forbidden from continuing her career as a flier in a duo trapeze act with her brother Isak.
Undeterred, Isak convinced her to keep practicing together in secret – but all their efforts came to a tragic end when a sudden fire took Isak’s life and left Chiara permanently scarred. She’s lived in hiding ever since, haunted by a past she can’t erase.
Until now.
Three years after Isak’s death, the fires are burning far closer to home – and they aren’t an accident. Fighting the flames is Cirque du Fhír, the circus-espionage ring sworn to put an end to the Arsonists’ terror. After they save Chiara’s life, she swears loyalty to their mission and joins as their new trapeze flier, determined to find out the truth about Isak.
But loyalty comes at a price. Chiara quickly finds herself plunged into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse as every step takes her closer and closer to the flames. And the truth just might be deadly enough to burn her alive…
