Publisher's Synopsis
With her dream of a life as an acrobat in tatters after a tragic accident, young bookish Emile turns away from the life she once knew. All is overshadowed by a sinister figure, Cesare, who follows her with a blade, turning her life upside down once again. Emile runs away from everything she knows, but then she is re-united with her first love after an unexpected twist of fate. A tale of thwarted ambition, desire and the echo of the circus, can Emile find her path and heed the words "in order to succeed, first you must trust yourself?"
