Caraval

Stephanie Garber

Scarlett Dragna has spent her whole life on an isolated island under the control of her cruel father, who has arranged a marriage for her. When a long-awaited invitation to Caraval—a distant, once-a-year interactive performance—finally arrives, Scarlett's sister Tella arranges for them to attend with the aid of a mysterious sailor. Upon arrival, Tella is taken by Caraval's enigmatic organizer, Legend, and this year's game centers on finding her. Warned that everything within Caraval is only an elaborate performance, Scarlett must locate her sister before the five nights of the game end.
