Carnival Fantástico cover

Enter Carnival Fantástico! A magical carnival, a show-stopping romance and a sinister secret . . . The new romantasy novel from Angela Montoya.

An unputdownable romantasy following a young woman posing as fortune-teller at a magical traveling carnival, where the handsome boy who once broke her heart resurfaces and warns her that carnival is more sinister than it appears.

Welcome to the Carnival Fantástico, a spectacle of magic and mischief, and the perfect haven for a runaway. Using her tricks and razor-sharp wit, Esmeralda becomes the carnival's resident fortune-teller, aiming for the lead role in the Big Top Show. Success would mean freedom from her former employer, the commander of the King's army.

Ignacio has defected from the army and is on the hunt for evidence of his father's corruption. But the last thing he expects to find on his father's trail of lies is the only girl he's ever loved, spinning false fortunes at a traveling carnival.

Perhaps fortune has thrown them together for a reason. They strike a deal: she'll help him expose his father if he helps her secure the main act. But old feelings don't die easily, and the commander's secret isn't the only thing they'll need to confront.

THE HEART-STOPPING NEW ROMANTASY FROM ANGELA MONTOYA, AUTHOR OF A CRUEL THIRST, PERFECT FOR FANS OF CARAVAL AND THE NIGHT CIRCUS.

Set in a magical romantasy world, this unputdownable, fast-moving novel for 14+ year olds weaves magic, secrets and second chances into its unceasingly exciting plot. * The School Reading List *
