Synopsis

Enter at your own risk—and discover the greatest show unearthed in this explosive, darkly imaginative debut fantasy …

For humans, the circus is a place filled with wonder and amazement. For Harrow, though, it’s a place to hide from those who slaughtered her entire clan. Disguising her abilities as part of her act has kept her true identity safe for years.

Until he arrives.

A strange new attraction with no name, no memory of who—or even what—he is, let alone an explanation for his odd yet deadly powers. But beneath the layers of anger and isolation, one glimpse into his inky eyes reveals a soul that calls out to the loneliness in her own.

And so she chooses him.

Harrow is drawn to the darkness, to her insatiable need to soothe the beast who threatens their very existence. But with every secret she unlocks from his past, another from hers whispers free as well—luring enemies who will stop at nothing to get their final revenge on Harrow.
And she’s afraid she’s given them the perfect weapon against her … because he’s not what he seems.

But maybe it’s time they finally learn—neither is she.

Goodreads review by Jena on March 11, 2024

2.5 stars Fitting that the ouroboros is a reoccurring symbol of this story, considering how the book repeats the same 2 conflicts over and over again and never ends. I think that Sanctuary of the Shadow has some potential in its world building, but as is the case with some previous Red Tower releases......more
