Excerpt



“We have an arrest warrant with your name,” the officer said over the sound of guns being 
aimed at Nicholas. “You’re required to come with us … peacefully, if possible.”
Murmurs broke out among the crew.
Nicholas glanced at the guns. Those were not regular weapons, but were specially designed 
to target telechargers. He didn’t feel their presence on the power grid. It didn’t matter. He had no 
intention to oppose resistance. There were too many people around who could get hurt. Besides, 
he’d always known it would end like this.
The murmurs increased in volume.
Until he left the scene, he was still manager, so Nicholas slowly turned around.
Behind him, the stilt men elongated their legs, and the aerialists slipped forward through the 
crowd. Almost everyone had exited the train by now. The knife throwers stood immovable in 
place, but their knives were never far from reach. At a window, Cielo opened her mouth.
“Don’t!” Nicholas raised a hand.
Cielo’s mouth snapped shut, but if her eyes had been as powerful as her voice, several 
people would have been lying on the ground already.
Sorry, mouthed Spinner.
They had sold him out. The realization hit him harder than expected. They had lured him 
out, knowing damn well what would happen, and they had let him walk into the trap without a 
warning. Sure, their loyalty was to the circus first, and he’d only been manager for one day, but 
he’d traveled with the circus for years. The betrayal hurt.
“Sir?” the officer said.
“It’s all right. I’ll go with you.” Nicholas turned and presented his wrists to another soldier 
holding a pair of thick manacles.
They closed with a click, and Nicholas’s shoulders slumped. The device inside the manacles 
annihilated his ability to manipulate mass and energy. Ever since he could remember, he’d never 
been without it. Its absence made him feel empty.
Rake growled.
Nicholas turned again and said with all the confidence he could muster, “Stick to the 
schedule, and take the power source to Paris. Also, wake up Big Dino. We had a deal.”
Rake grunted and crossed his arms over his chest. The rest of the crew members froze. Well, 
that cleared up who was the boss.
Nicholas stepped forward to follow the soldiers, but Anya’s silhouette, pale and shivering, in 
the car doorway made him stop.
“It’s going to be okay,” he said, repeating the same words she’d told him earlier.
This time, however, they both knew it was a lie.
