Girl in the Shadows

Eighteen-year-old Moira Mitchell grew up in the shadows of Vegas s stage lights while her father s career as a magician soared. More than anything, Moira wants to be a magician too, but her father is dead set against her pursuing magic. When an invitation to join the Cirque American mistakenly falls into Moira s possession, she takes action. Instead of giving the highly coveted invitation to its intended recipient, Raleigh, her father s handsome and worldly former apprentice, Moira takes off to join the Cirque. If she can perform alongside its world-famous acts, she knows she ll be able to convince her dad that magic is her future. But when Moira arrives, things take on an intensity she can t control as her stage magic suddenly feels like real magic. To further distract her, Raleigh shows up none too pleased at Moira s presence, all while the Cirque s cocky and intriguing knife thrower, Dez, seems to have it out for her. As tensions mount and Moira s abilities come into question, she must decide what s real and what s an illusion. If she doesn t sort it out in time, she may forever remain a girl in the shadows.
