Book #1
Scarlett has never left the tiny isle of Trisda, pining for the wonder of Caraval, a yearly week-long performance where the audience participates in the show. Caraval is Magic. And for Scarlett and her sister Tella it represents freedom and an escape from their abusive father. When the sisters' invitations to Caraval finally arrive, it seems their dreams have come true. But no sooner have they arrived than Tella vanishes, kidnapped by the show's mastermind organiser, Legend. Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But nonetheless she quickly becomes enmeshed in a dangerous game of love, magic and heartbreak.
