Summary
Maxine always believed magic was nothing more than a well-executed trick.
Raised behind the scenes of a famous traveling circus alongside her uncle Baltazar — the park’s charismatic Great Magician — she grew up surrounded by illusions, extravagant performances, and eccentric people.
Between stage tricks, pickpocketing lessons disguised as survival training, and nights spent observing people from the top of the Ferris wheel, Maxine learned that the world depended on perception, attention, and the ability to fool the right eyes at the right moment.
But everything changes when a mysterious figure connected to Baltazar’s past reveals a truth hidden for years: magic is real, another world exists alongside her own, and Maxine is tied to it far more deeply than she ever imagined.
Forced to leave behind the only life she has ever known, she is taken to an ancient institution linked to Merlin’s legacy — a place ruled by tradition, bloodlines, and people who spent their lives studying what she believed was only illusion.
While others learned magic through books and rituals, Maxine grew up learning how to understand people — and that may be more dangerous than any spell.
