Extended description

Serafine Moreau grew up on the grimy edges of cities that were never home, raised at the capricious whims of her bohemian mother. She learned young how to move unseen through crowds, acquire things that didn't belong to her, and disappear at the first sign of trouble. Together they made a curious life beneath street market tents, plying tourists with fortunes. It wasn't perfect, but it was theirs - until a stranger appeared one unremarkable autumn morning to steal the fortune teller's life and leave Sera with nothing but questions.

Now alone, Sera wanders lost between days, strangled by the past and unable to pursue her future. Even the cards reveal nothing. So when an invitation addressed to her mother's stage name Corazon arrives from an old carnival outfit looking to recruit the late fortune teller, Sera answers instead.

EXCERPT:
"Take me with you. Hire me as your assistant. I'm useful."

"No," he tsked. "You're a menace."

"Please don't leave me here."

"If you do not give back what you stole I will have to take it back by force. You, nor I, wish for that ending." He leveled me with his steel gaze. "Please, Serafine, bring this abominable night to an end."

Please, Serafine. All the strings holding my heart in place unraveled one at a time. I came to him, aware of his eyes following me to his parted knees. He reached for me instinctively. I almost climbed into his lap, almost, the fleeting but smothering desire for the Magician's approval overwhelming my better senses. His fingertips brushed the back of my bare thighs.

All the wonderful possibilities of the carnival, of the Magician, of everything I thought was supposed to be mine, unraveled, too.

"You win." I pulled the key from beneath my t-shirt. He rose to his feet, crowding me.

"You said it was hidden."

"I lied."

"Let me," he murmured and took the cord from my fingers. He carefully threaded it from my bed-messy hair. His hands were gentle, different than the ones that had threatened me earlier.

He smelled of chocolate and caramel, which seemed viciously unfair.

"I would have made an excellent member of Imaginaire, you know."

"Maybe. But things are complicated now. There's no place for outsiders." The Magician touched a finger beneath my chin and lifted. "Don't look at me with your big, sad green eyes. It won't work. I am unmoved by the manipulations of lion-haired girls. I cannot hire you and wouldn't if I could. I assure you that despite what you think, Cora would not thank me for taking you with us. Likely she would have me murdered in my sleep. Violently and thoroughly."

"I don't believe you."

"Things are different now."

"I am not afraid, if that's what you think."

He lowered both hands to my arms and for a moment I thought he might pull me the last inch to him. I wanted it. It was too easy to be bewitched by him.

Instead he pushed me back, displaced me from his control. "Do not return to the carnival, Serafine. It is not for you."
