The Marvelous Circus of Joy and Magic has now been traveling the continent for twenty years under the supervision of Ringmaster Renault. While performers have come and gone, the circus never lost its charm and, as such, maintained its reputation. Beloved by children and adults alike, it managed to cement its place in the Nerisean landscape.

Desperate for a change of atmosphere, the young prince escapes the castle and makes his way to the Marvelous Circus of Joy and Magic, where he accidentally becomes entangled in their web of deadly mystery. What direction could his future now take?
