Book excerpt: From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Skye Warren comes a new story in her Smoke and Mirrors series. Charismatic. Devious. Secretive. Emerson Durand is the ringmaster for the illustrious Cirque des Miroirs. In each city he finds a new woman to command for the night. Until he finds the one woman who doesn't bow to his demands. Luna Rider soars through the air as an aerial acrobat. She's determined to provide for herself and her sister, but she doesn't count on being gambled away. Or the secrets that hover under the striped tent. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.** Reviews for Blue Moon: “The writing was lyrical and the story immensely engaging.
