The Magician has travelled with the Ringmaster’s circus a long time. But it’s been longer still since she was something else beyond her lank and limber frame - in the days when she was still a walking mountain, striding with thunderous step across the face of the earth. Now, bound in human form, bursting at the seams with too many souls, she lets the shadow in the hole where her heart should be guide the pair of them, and devours the parts of her audience they won’t miss. But each new town the circus visits brings temptation - and when two mothers come seeking a lost daughter, the Magician agrees to help them find what they’ve lost. Even though the price is more than they’ll be able to bear.
