The city was asleep when the dark carts known for their sinister reputation entered its gates. The Circus of the Night - a travelling troupe that only appeared once every few years and disappeared just as suddenly. A huge crimson tent had already been set up on the turnpike, shrouded in a mist that smelled of incense. Marta, Bartek, Lena and Igor - a pack of friends who still knew each other from high school - had heard about the unusual performances under the cover of darkness.
