Added to the fact that it is a fantasy background was even more exciting! I absolutely love carnival and circus stories, which made this one an auto-add to my TBR. Rolling across a consuming dust bowl landscape, Eliza may have found her destiny. Only then can Eliza save her friends, find her family, and fight the sway of a primordial demon preying upon the human world. And she’s met her match in Eliza, who’s only beginning to understand the purpose of her own burgeoning powers. But the Bacchanal is no ordinary carnival. And the Bacchanal Carnival is Eliza’s ticket out of the swamp trap of Baton Rouge.Īmong fortune-tellers, carnies, barkers, and folks even stranger than herself, Eliza finds a new home. To a talent prospector, she’s a crowd-drawing oddity. ![]() It’s a gift for communicating with animals.

Her time has come.Ībandoned by her family, alone on the wrong side of the color line with little to call her own, Eliza Meeks is coming to terms with what she does have.
