Pantomime: first in a gorgeous magical trilogy about a circus performer, set in Victorian Scotland
L.R. Lam
c 1800 to c 1900, Of specific Gay & Lesbian interest, Fantasy
When Micah runs away from a debutante's life at home and joins the circus, he harbours two secrets. One: he was born between male and female. And two: he may have powers last seen in mysterious beings from an almost-forgotten age.
As Micah discovers the joy of flight as an aerialist, courting his trapeze partner, Aenea, and confiding in the mysterious white clown, Drystan, he finally feels free. But the circus has a dark side, and Micah's past isn't done with him.
Meanwhile, the strange 'ghost' of a woman with damselfly wings whispers to Micah that only he can help magic return to the realm, and he fears she may be right . . .
Micah has much to learn, and he must do it quickly - before his past and future collide, with catastrophic consequences.
