Synopsis - A shriek rings out over the tents and boardwalks of Carnival l’Morai, followed by a plea for help from Marie, the blind juggler. Other performers arrive at the young woman’s wagon to find her covered in blood. On the bed beside her lies the sword swallower, impaled upon his own blade.

Marie and her friends have few clues to track down the murderer – until they find the next body and the next... Their quest to capture the killer reveals horrors undreamed of, even for a troop of freakish performers trapped in the heart of the Dark Domains.
