The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. Behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. When Celia and Marco fall in love, it sets off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.

This exclusive edition features a shiny silver cover, stencilled edges, and foil embossing on the hardback. The book is signed by Erin Morgenstern and includes an author letter on the front endpapers.
