Sometimes the greatest spectacle hides the darkest secrets . . . In an alternate London the city' s Theatre District is a walled area south of the river where an immersive production - the Show - has been running for centuries growing ever bigger more sprawling and lavish. The Show is open to anyone who can afford a ticket but the District itself is a closed world even the police have no jurisdiction within its walls. Juliet' s mother died when she was a baby. Brought up by her emotionally distant father and even more distant stepmother she has never felt wanted. It' s only when her father passes away that Juliet - now nineteen - learns her birth was registered in the District. Desperate to belong somewhere at last she travels to London where she hopes to unearth the truth about her identity her mother' s death and her father' s years of silence - and claim her birthright. But in the District there is only one central truth: the Show must go on. And in a world where illusions abound and powerful men control the narrative Juliet has no idea of just how far some will go to ensure certain stories are never told . . . -- ' Original and captivating this intricately woven tale had me enthralled from page one' Karen Coles author of The Asylum ' Rich imaginative and atmospheric . . .
