Haly's traveling circus no longer has the appeal of its glamorous past, but it still has one main attraction: the Flying Graysons, a family of trapeze artists, starring teenage Dick Grayson. The only problem is that Dick loathes spending his summers performing tired routines for a dwindling crowd. When the Lost Carnival, a wild and bewitching new attraction, opens nearby and threatens to lure away Haly's remaining customers, Dick is among those drawn to its magical nighttime glow. But there are forces ancient and treacherous at work at the Lost Carnival, and when Dick meets the enigmatic Luciana, he may be too mesmerized to recognize the danger ahead. Beneath the carnival's dazzling fireworks, Dick must decide who he is and who he wants to be — and must choose between either his loyalty to his family and friends, or a glittering, romantic future.
