A mood board with a variety of photos including an aerial view of a lit up city, another ground view of a city with lots of lit up signs, a blurred hand, a blurred face of a man screaming, a storm with lightning, a spherical building, water bubbles, and an eye with lights around it. In the center is a quote: โI am home, I reassure myself. Home is not here, a voice whispers back.โ
In my YA sci-fi, youโll find:
โฅ๏ธslow burn
๐ซถfound family
โ๏ธan eternal storm, ravaging the planet
๐ฆ a deadly neurotoxin infecting the mind and rewriting reality, ultimately shutting the body down

moodboard with tops of striped circus tents adorned with lights.
Two masquerade masques
a circus ringleader with a top hat pulled over his eyes, a red jacket, and leaning on a cane
a full mooon over a country road
a magic wall dividing two lands
a celestial sky
an aerial artist suspended in the air
an old looking map
a country field with circus tents in the middle of it
Desperate to outrun his isolation and a haunted past, รtheren slips beyond the forbidden wall into West Ulliโand joins a mysterious night circus. Drawn into a world of hidden magic, intrigue, and secret agendas, he soon discovers the circus is not all that it appears to be.
