From Hayley Barker comes a dark and gripping dystopian novel set in a world divided by power, privilege, and spectacle.

In a future society, the elite live in luxury—while the rest are forced to survive on the margins.

At the centre of it all is the circus.

For the privileged, it’s entertainment. For the performers, it’s a prison.

Hoshiko is a circus performer, trained to risk her life for the amusement of the rich. Ben is an outsider, part of the privileged class, who begins to question everything he’s been taught.

When their worlds collide, they uncover the brutal truth behind the system—and the cost of rebellion.

As tensions rise and danger escalates, they must decide whether to stay silent or risk everything to fight back.

Dark, emotional, and thought-provoking, this novel explores inequality, control, and the price of freedom.
