Circus of Two Souls

Welcome to Circus of Two Souls,

where everything has a cost, even destiny

Marie Stahlbaum wishes to go back to a time before parenthood, before her lost ballet career,

and before a Nutcracker rattled her sanity. If she could do it all over, she would be more. 

Her estranged brother, Fritz, would choose to be less-less jealous of his sister, less angry with

his parents, less impulsive with his decisions. Maybe then, he would belong.

Under the big top, in a fantastical circus the siblings never intended to visit, reality seems almost

malleable. It is the perfect place to lose themselves. But beyond the bright lights and velvet

curtains, a darker truth looms. The circus is in danger, along with its extraordinary performers.

To survive, the siblings must fulfill a long-held bargain with the conniving ringleader, who will

use anything-old fears, deep-rooted perceptions, and coveted desires-to see them fail.

Before time runs out, Marie and Fritz must do more than unravel the ties between the circus and

their pasts. They must decide who they really want to be before they fade away.

Circus of Two Souls, an adult fantasy novel, is perfect for fans of the Nutcracker.

It combines emotional character arcs with a magical, yet occasionally ominous, circus setting,

making it perfect for readers fond of fairy tale retellings, family dramas, and magical realism.

Readers looking for a story featuring lost love, mental health representation, self-identity after parenthood,

and body image issues will also connect with this novel.
