War is everywhere, but while the Circus is performing, the world is magic. That magic is no accident: Boss builds her circus from the bones out, molding a mechanical company that will survive the unforgiving landscape.

Kitty is just a normal girl trying to find her way in the world, who also happens to be a stripper. Trouble likes to follow her wherever she goes and getting chased through a park in the dead of winter is no different.

They give her a safe place, and promise to help her get back on her feet, but not before she realizes the Circus of Night is far more than it appears.

And then there's the murdered voodoo practitioners and the zombies.

Despite Vivienne’s broken heart and deadly truths, the show must go on at the Cirque des Immortels. But it takes more than glamour and sex appeal to keep the Big Top running; without the magic and support Viv came to rely on, the circus is in danger. Now the troupe verges on rebellion, the war between Mab and Oberon rages on, and a horrifying menace looms - with Vivienne stuck in the middle of it all.

No one has been murdered in the Cirque des Immortels since the clash between the otherworldly Courts and the death of Oberos at Lilith’s flaming hands. Vivienne is settling comfortably into her new life under the big top, with its late-night debaucheries, faerie secrets, and magical cast. She is now a fortune-teller, rather than a cotton candy seller, and has a magical boyfriend, Kingston, whose fierce charm has stolen her heart. But her own half-remembered past holds secrets of its own...

I’ve finally succeeded in doing away with Samuel, but I’m not really in charge of the island at all. In fact, the treachery runs deeper than I ever thought possible, and if I’m not careful, every soul on the island - both living and dead - will want to kill me for what I’ve done unless I discover who is really in charge.

Who will save the circus? Vagabond Circus is in danger. Its ringmaster knows it. The performers know it. And the one person who can save the circus knows it.

The ringmaster and the crew must work together to discover who is trying to ruin the place they love more than any other. Full of mystery and intrigue, this circus will transport listeners to another place.

The Midnight Circus appears without warning in an empty field, opening only when the clock strikes twelve.

By the time he discovers the reason his dad kept so many secrets from him growing up, it’s too late to make amends. But if gods are real, maybe the ancient stories of the underworld are real as well.

Murdered contortionists aren't exactly what Vivienne signed up for when she ran away to join the circus. But like most things under the big top, nothing is what it seems. With a past she can't quite remember, Vivienne finds that running away forever might not be as appealing as it once sounded - because forever means something quite different at the Cirque des Immortels.
