It is the greatest betrayal of Nell's life, but as she comes to know the other performers and Jasper's quieter, gentler brother Toby, Nell begins to wonder if becoming part of the Carnival of Wonder is the best thing that has ever happened to her.
Toby has always stuck to his brother's side: the shadow to his brother's luminous light. When Jasper served in the Crimean War, Toby followed with his camera, and they share a secret - hidden amongst the carnage of those battlefields - which binds them together.
But Toby is captivated by Nell. Because she has become Nellie Moon, the star of Jasper's show: in London she is written up in the papers as the eighth wonder of the world, figurines are cast in her image, and crowds rush to watch her soar through the air.
But who gets to tell Nell's story? And as she falls in love with Toby, can they plot their escape? As the world Jasper has created threatens to crash to the ground around him, Toby must decide where - finally - his loyalty lies.
This is a novel with a vivid, brilliant cast of characters, and themes of creativity and ownership, beauty and monstrosity, success and crashing failure, and the Victorian obsession with spectacle and the strange.
