Despite her torments, the Boy finds a way to survive and create a small space for himself in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Boy endures unspeakable cruelties, saved only by a mysterious magic that intervenes in moments of need: magic he learns is his to command. When he finally escapes the Mother, a beguiling circus troupe welcomes him into their family and the Boy begins to imagine a life beyond survival, one where circus lions roar and enchanted forests spiral far into the distance. For the first time, he discovers chosen family, community, and love. He eagerly apprentices under the circus's conjurer--only to realize his gifts far outstrip his mentor's. Thus the Boy becomes the Magician. But as ambition bends his power, a primal threat stalks, determined to destroy not just the Magician, but all he holds dear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEchoing the fairytale cadence of Helen Oyeyemi and Gerardo Sámano Córdova's disquieting excavation of grief and trauma, Tracy Lynne Oliver has created a spellbinding world of twisted patriarchal darkness and a powerful magic that threatens to consume everyone, including its wielder.
