Description:
Life in the Circus had always been a nightmare to Pomni. She just didn’t expect getting out of it to somehow be worse.
She believed that the worst the Circus could throw at her was an AI ringleader who wanted her to suffer. She didn’t realize there could be someone out there who wanted the same for him.
She never thought she might care about what would happen to him if they ever did get out, or what it might cost him.
Or: When a new player arrives claiming to be an agent from the mysterious C&A Corporation, the Circus troupe expects it to be another horrible adventure. It isn’t, it’s something worse.
With the chance of escaping suddenly dangled before their eyes, they’re forced to ask the difficult question: how far will Caine, and the Circus itself, be pushed before he breaks?
Pomni might just be in over her head.
