Ella Olsen was born to dazzle under the big top, but her fire-wielding magic has always kept her in the shadows.

When the 1929 financial crash leaves her family's circus on the brink of collapse, Ella makes a desperate deal to save it—one she can no longer remember. Then, a devastating fire takes everything: her home, her father's legacy, and her past.

She awakens in Cirque du Mystique, a place of impossible performances where every act is powered by magic. But her arrival isn't by chance. Maddock, a dangerously charming aerialist, has come to collect on the deal she forgot. Now, Ella must compete in The Spectacle, a deadly showcase where only the strongest survive.

As her memories return, so do the secrets she once buried. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes that history is about to repeat itself—and this time, it might burn her alive.
