Welcome! To the game of Caraval! Since Scarlett was little, she dreamed of visiting Caraval. To see the magic, the performers and, of course, meet the creator of the games himself, Legend. Her many letters requesting to join the game went unanswered, and dreams of playing the game began to become just that, a dream. That is until three shining tickets addressed to her are delivered in the post. This might be her chance, but she is engaged and she fears what her father will do to her sister if she disobeys. However, she is tricked by her sister Donatella and a troublesome sailor. Scarlett soon arrives in the game of Caraval. But she can't find her sister anywhere. Caraval may be more dangerous than Scarlett had thought, but she can’t leave without Tella. So she must play the game. Will Scarlet be swept away in Caravals magic? Be warned dear player, not everything is as it seems. You must remember, it's just a game.

Description

Welcome, welcome to CARAVAL, Stephanie Garber’s enchanting, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling fantasy debut about two sisters swept up in a mysterious competition filled with magic, heartbreak, and danger

Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their powerful and cruel father. Now Scarlett’s father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the far-away, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.

But this year, Scarlett's long-dreamt-of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor, Tella whisks Scarlett away to attend. Only, as soon as they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval’s mastermind organizer, Legend. It turns out that this season's Caraval revolves around Tella, and whoever finds her first is the winner.

Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, and her sister disappears forever.
