    Dámy z Tajného cirkusu
    • Paříž, 1925: Vstoupit do Tajného cirkusu znamená vstoupit do světa zázraků – světa, kde ženy krotí nádherná zvířata, kolotoče vás přenesou do minulosti a artisté na visutých hrazdách se vznášejí po obloze. Každý odvážný kousek však něco stojí. Cecile Cabotová, spjatá s podivným a kouzelným cirkusem své rodiny, zná jen tento svět – dokud nepotká charismatického mladého malíře a nezaplete se do vášnivého milostného vztahu, který ji může stát všechno. Virginia, 2005: Laře Barnesové patří celý svět – dokud její snoubenec nezmizí ve svatební den. Zoufalé hledání odpovědí ji nečekaně zavede k deníkům její prababičky a vtáhne ji do příběhu o temném cirkusu a rodové kletbě, která si od žen v její rodině po generace vybírá svou daň.
