Summary
When loneliness causes a mage to seek comfort in a silly ritual, the doors between realities open to allow her to find five curious monsters disguised as circus performers. Life changes rapidly for Esme, who finds herself at the center of attention between two obsessive beasts, while being scrutinized by the remaining three. But being close to others after being alone for so long opens her heart to feelings she had long since repressed.
Is it safe to love when she has lost before? Is it possible to heal broken souls and shattered hearts? With her magic, can she bring closure to monsters who have mourned for far too long? Can they reciprocate, and help soothe her own overwhelming grief? Why can't she choose between the sweet Pierrot and the spicy Harlequin? Is it wrong to want them both?
