"The circus arrives without warning."
Celia has been left with her father, Prospero, after her mother dies. He is training her in magic, but not the kind of magic that you generally think of.
Marco is taken as a young boy and is being trained in such magic by a man in a grey suit.
What these two individuals do not realize is that they are going to be competing against each other in a life-altering contest with this magic.
They fall in love, without knowing that they are in battle with each other over their skills.
We are rewarded with much description of the circus itself and the many performers that appear in this circus. From contortionists to wishing trees, bonfires, etc.

This is a very well written book about the circus itself. You really wish that you were the one attending and seeing all the marvels.
