Vaudeville: mad, mercenary, dreamy, and absurd, a world of clashing
cultures and ferocious showmanship and wickedly delightful
deceptions.
But sixteen-year-old pianist George Carole has joined vaudeville
for one reason only: to find the man he suspects to be his father,
the great Heironomo Silenus. Yet as he chases down his father's
troupe, he begins to understand that their performances are strange
even for vaudeville: for wherever they happen to tour, the very
nature of the world seems to change.
Because there is a secret within Silenus's show so ancient and
dangerous that it has won him many powerful enemies. And it's not
until after he joins them that George realizes the troupe is not
simply touring: they are running for their lives.
And soon...he is as well.
