A Novella by Chelsea Gaither
The Circus is coming to town
Staffed entirely by the Fae, the popular Fairy Circus is the first of its kind. Even TA Agent Astrid Stone is a wary fan. The show is spectacular, but she’s been burned by the Fae before. She doesn’t trust the party line. And with her mysterious patron recruiting her teammates for an unknown and unknowable agenda, Astrid can’t afford the risk the Fairy Circus presents.
But when an explosive welcome to Corpus Christi exposes the Circus’s secrets, Astrid has no choice but to get involved. The ringleader is an ancient Fae renegade, and he’s been hiding Changelings from those who would prey on them, including the Fairy Queen herself. And Queen Titania isn’t sitting in the audience anymore. Her son is missing and she’s holding both the Circus and Terrestrial Affairs responsible.
And when the beef between Titania and the Hunter Lodge system breaks wide open, Astrid finds herself caught between the man she loves and the Hunter who once held...
