The circus arrives without warning. The black sign, painted in white letters that hangs upon the gates, reads:Opens at NightfalllCloses at DawnAs the sun disappears beyond the horizon, all over the tents small lights begin to flicker, as though the entirety of the circus is covered in particularly bright fireflies.

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway-a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love-a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands. True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus per­formers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.

El circo llega sin aviso, sin anuncio. Simplemente aparece. Dentro de sus carpas blancas y negras se vive una experiencia única, un banquete para los sentidos en el que se puede explorar un laberinto de nubes, caminar en un jardín de hielo o perderse en los ricos aromas de canela y caramelo que flotan en el aire. Bienvenidos al Circo de los sueños. Pero detrás de estas maravillosas escenas existe una feroz competencia --un duelo entre dos magos jóvenes, Celia y Marcos, que han sido entrenados desde la infancia para competir en un "juego". Obligados a participar por sus caprichosos amos, sin que ellos lo sepan, éste es un juego en el que sólo uno puede sobrevivir y el circo no es más que el escenario para una extraordinaria batalla de imaginación y voluntad. A pesar de todo, Celia y Marco caen irremediablemente enamorados --un amor profundo y mágico que causa que las luces parpadeen y el ambiente se caliente con solo tocarse las manos. Pero sus amos siguen moviendo los hilos y el amor imprevisto de Celia y Marco les obliga a intervenir, dejando la vida de todos, desde los artistas a los espectadores, en gran peligro. Divertida, original y fascinante, El circo de la noche es una rica historia de amor que capta la imaginación y encanta los sentidos.

For use in schools and libraries only. Waging a fierce competition for which they have trained since childhood, circus magicians Celia and Marco unexpectedly fall in love with each other and share a fantastical romance that manifests in fateful ways.
