I, Natalie King, know there’s life after high school. I’ve been telling myself that for the past four years—ten, if you count since my arrival in Devil's Den, Indiana. However, surviving until graduation will take a miracle. My tormentor, Georgia Hayes and her group of friends have it out for me. She’ll stop at nothing to achieve her goal—including murder. When a traveling carnival/freak show arrives in town, I find myself drawn to five performers, Cynfael, Brom, Maestro, Solomon and Iblis. The pleasure we share, along with my best friend Charlie, would have the women of our conservative community clutching their pearls. These performers open our eyes to another world. A place where sin and debauchery are pure decadence, and we can be free. However, on All Hallows Eve, the last night of the carnival, Georgia executes her ultimate plan, and I’m given a Die or seek retribution. Seven months. That’s all I needed to put Devil’s Den, Indiana, in my rearview mirror. What will I choose? Life or Death? Life brings me revenge. Death strips me of my vengeance. All I have to do is sign on the dotted line.
