'Yron the moon god died,
but now he's reborn in the false king's son. His human father wanted to
kill him, but his mother sacrificed her life to save him. He'll return
one day to claim his birthright. He'll change your life.
He'll change everything.
Smiler's
Fair: the great moving carnival where any pleasure can be had, if
you're willing to pay the price. They say all paths cross at Smiler's
Fair. They say it'll change your life. For five people, Smiler's Fair
will change everything.
In a land where unimaginable horror
lurks in the shadows, where the very sun and moon are at war, five
people - Nethmi, the orphaned daughter of a murdered nobleman, who in
desperation commits an act that will haunt her forever. Dae Hyo, the
skilled warrior, who discovers that a lifetime of bravery cannot make up
for a single mistake. Eric, who follows his heart only to find that
love exacts a terrible price. Marvan, the master swordsman, who takes
more pleasure from killing than he should. And Krish, the humble
goatherd, with a destiny he hardly understands and can never accept -
will discover just how much Smiler's Fair changes everything.' - Goodreads
I'd like this now please! It has a moving carnival, I'm sold - I love books with menacing carnivals or circuses so can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Smiler's Fair, in fact who do I need to menace to do so? Just kidding...
