Miralees Fornata is an acrobat and juggler with her family troupe in a travelling circus.

Her life has been simple enough until she stumbles on her family secrets. Trying to be a good daughter means she doesn't refuse when they ask her to do something that puts her life--and theirs at risk.

Suddenly lies and deception become her way of life and she is thrown into a world she does not belong. And where the lives of people beyond her family become more important than even her own.

"You don't understand, I'm an acrobat not a hero."
