Synopsis
Inspired by Dante’s Inferno and drawing on works like The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and Geek Love by Katherine Dunn, THE NINTH CIRCLE follows the adventures of Dan, a 16-year-old runaway, as he travels with a circus through nine states. The Ringmaster guides Dan through this magical world, and soon Dan has fallen deeply in love with the circus life…and with the Bearded Lady. But the circus is full of mysteries. Many performers boast strange talents, and one harbors a secret that could destroy the circus forever.
