Circus of Masks

A year after the murder streak of 1920, the fate of the Black Moon circus hangs in the balance when a fatal heart attack claims one of its audience members. The incident sparks the rumor of an evil curse and dramatic protests begin to take place outside the circus’s doors. With Sameer away recruiting new members, Cressida is left in charge. She soon finds herself over her head in her new leadership responsibilities: hosting a masked ball for the New York citizens to improve the reputation of the Black Moon, housing the new recruits as they arrive, and learning empathy for and gaining respect from the members of her circus family. As the masked ball draws closer, the metaphorical masks each performer wears are slowly shed as they learn to accept themselves and open their hearts to exciting possibilities.
