Eighteen-year-old Moira Mitchell grew up in the shadows of Vegas's stage
lights while her father's career as a magician soared. More than
anything, Moira wants to be a magician too, but her father is dead set
against her pursuing magic.
When an invitation to join the Cirque American mistakenly falls into
Moira's possession, she takes action. Instead of giving the highly
coveted invitation to its intended recipient, Raleigh, her father's
handsome and worldly former apprentice, Moira takes off to join the
Cirque. If she can perform alongside its world-famous acts, she knows
she'll be able to convince her dad that magic is her future.
But when Moira arrives, things take on an intensity she can't control as
her stage magic suddenly feels like...real magic. To further distract
her, Raleigh shows up none too pleased at Moira's presence, all while
the Cirque's cocky and intriguing knife thrower, Dez, seems to have it
out for her. As tensions mount and Moira's abilities come into question,
she must decide what's real and what's an illusion. If she doesn't sort
it out in time, she may forever remain a girl in the shadows.
