Garber, Stephanie: Caraval

‘Remember it‘s all a game. What happens beyond this gate may frighten or excite you, but don‘t let any of it trick you.‘ Once a year the infamous Master Legend hosts Caraval - open only to those who have been invited. This year the week-long game is on Legend‘s glittering Isla de los Sueños, where the winding streets are an elaborate snow-covered maze and the people are never who they seem. At midnight on the first day, the show begins and the visitors become players. Each of them is vying for the coveted prize: a single wish. All they must do is unravel the mystery of Caraval. But in a game where danger hides behind every charming smile, winning isn‘t without loss, and their wish might be their last... ‘A story rich with sumptuous detail, beautifully written‘ Renée Ahdieh, author of The Wrath and the Dawn ‘Decadent and enchanting . . . CARAVAL will sink its teeth into you, and you will not want to leave‘ Roshani Chokshi, author of The Star-Touched Queen
