Aprašymas

"[A]n exotic and detailed world, peopled by characters that I'd love to be friends with . . . and some I'd never want to cross paths with" -- Robin Hobb

"Pantomime is a fantastical, richly drawn, poignant take on a classic coming-of-age story . . . a vibrant tale told with surety and grace" -- Leigh Bardugo

From the award-winning, USA Today-bestselling author of Dragonfall comes a gaslamp fantasy trilogy about a young man's quest to escape his past and decipher the magical prophecy that will shape his future

In a land of lost wonders, the past is stirring once more . . .

Micah runs away from a debutante's life at home, harboring two secrets-one: he is both male and female, and two: he has magical abilities, last seen in mysterious beings from an almost-forgotten age.

Hiding from his parents in a circus, Micah discovers the joy of flight, as an aerialist. He feels free for the first time in his life. He can even court his fellow-flyer, Aenea, and confide in the white clown, Drystan. But the circus has a dark side, and Micah's past isn't done with him.

Meanwhile, the future has something to say, in the form of a magical prophecy. But who is that mysterious woman with damselfly wings, and why does Micah seem so critical to her? Surely the glow in that Penglass is just a trick of the light...

Micah has much to learn, and quickly--before his past and future collide, with catastrophic consequences.
