After magic and monsters re-enter the world, the island of Galveston splits into two sides: the "normal" half, and Carnival, an endless Mardi Gras where miracles abound. After decades of peace, the imminent death of the gatekeepers between the two factions threatens the survival of both worlds. Praised as "terrific fun" by Publishers Weekly and as "eerie, enthralling, [and] flavorsome" by Kirkus Reviews.
