Chantal loves her life in the circus, but when a couple find her, they tell her that her family, one she never knew of, wants to welcome her home. She reluctantly leaves, but wonders what happened to her friend, Martin, a man who she found hurt by the river. When she finds him again, life becomes dangerous- leaving her unsure of who to trust.

When a young girl is turned out of her home, she runs away. She is lucky when a kind man from the circus takes her into his family. She becomes "Chantal" a trapezee artist, and is content with her new life. After she finds Martin, a man who can not remember his past, beside the river, mystery begins to flow. Then there is a dire warning from a palm reader, Chantal's trapezee breaking, and Chantal's past reaching out to claim her. Who cut her trapezee? Why does it seem like someone is trying to kill her?

Madeleine Brent, female pseudonym for novelist Peter O'Donnell, weaves the story with intrigue always keeping the reader on the hook. His well written books don't need sex to keep you reading. Capable, intelligent heroines who have been raised outside the norm of English society usually find themselves surrounded by challenges that they did not anticipate or create. Madeleine Brent is a great author to read.
