The Night Circus

The circus arrives without warning. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Against the grey sky the towering tents are striped black and white. A sign hanging upon iron gates reads:Opens at NightfallCloses at DawnAs dusk shifts to twilight, tiny lights begin to flicker all over the tents, as though the whole circus is covered in fireflies. When the tents are aglow, sparkling against the night sky, the sign lights up:Le Cirque des RevesThe Circus of DreamsThe gates shudder and unlock, seemingly by their own volition. They swing outward, inviting the crowd inside.Now the circus is openNow you may enterThe Starless Sea, the magical second novel from the author of the The Night Circus, is available for pre-order now
