But liquor isn’t the only illegal substance being
shelled on the ship, and the circus’ Ringmaster will not let Hadley return to
the quiet, respectable life her brother has worked so hard for. She has seen
their future, and she can’t turn back now, even if it costs her everything she
holds dear.
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Le Cirque Navire.
