Parts are required for repairs, and the Ringmaster, Professor Abbacus, Dr Tumblety and Felina travel into a small town called Broken Promise to find a blacksmith. The circus folks discover that Promise Falls is under a terrible curse, and none of its locals can leave. A pair of local card-sharps direct the carnies up into the hills, to a Native American camp where they claim the curse originated. However, the tribe’s shaman informs the folks that the curse came from an entirely different source.

For the first time, the mysterious travelling circus known as the Circus Infinitus arrives in Australia, where it immediately attracts the attention of an infamous Victorian villain. Dr Nikola has heard of Professor Abbacus’ Immortality Machine and wants it for himself. However, he doesn’t know the full extent of the Circus folks’ powers, and will not confront them on his own. So he enlists the help of the Benevolant Society, who also desire the Circus’ secrets. Dr Nikola manages to split up the Circus folks by sending the more powerful characters on a wild treasure hunt across Australia. Following clues on a series of maps hidden in famous locations, the Ringmaster, Professor Abbacus, Dr Tumblety and Felina search for the massive, mythical vein of gold known as Lasseter’s Reef. The remaining Circus folk receive aid from unexpected sources – a local inventor, aboriginal warriors and displaced werewolves from the Grey Howler tribe. However, will they all be enough to stop the ruthless Dr Nikola, the Benevolent Society and their Stigmata allies from invading and plundering the magical secrets of the Circus Infinitus?

Just before his death, the great Renaissance Man Leonardo Da Vinci invented a device with the power to preserve life. Unfortunately the Immortality Machine exploded during the initial test-phase, and the artist was unable to realise his dream of living forever. Bequeathing his most secret notebook, the Da Vinci Codex, to an assistant whom he had nick-named Icarus, Leonardo made the boy promise to perfect the Immortality Machine and test it on himself, and to never let it fall into enemy hands. After Da Vinci died, Icarus fled to England. As well as the Immortality Machine, the Codex also contained blueprints for a teleportation device called the Omniportalis and various other contraptions. Years later Icarus managed to complete the Immortality Machine. This time it worked. He became immortal. But he paid a terrible price. The Machine transformed him into an undead creature. Icarus knew he couldn’t let anyone else get their hands on such a terrible device, and managed to keep it secret in his cellar until the year 1880, when an exiled alien being named Delsaron Delfay stumbled out of a trans-dimensional portal right in front of him. At first Icarus thought the handsome alien was an escaped demon and tried to kill him. But then Delsaron saved him from the police and helped him back to his basement. Icarus helped Delsaron to acclimatise to his new world, and in turn Delsaron helped Icarus to emerge from his squalid basement and start a new life. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the mysterious IntelliGent and his new lackeys, imps who’d jumped from the trans-dimensional portal just after Delsaron’s arrival. They were after the Da Vinci Codex. With the Omniportallis in mind, Icarus designed a theatre that would be able to move around the country. He and Delsaron recruited several volunteers to help; down-and-outs whose lives were actually improved by the Immortality Machine. With their help, the theatre was completed and named the Circus Infintus. But the IntelliGent has friends in very high places, and employs a mage from the Stigmata to help track down Icarus and the Da Vinci Codex. Will the embryonic Circus Infinitus even survive to go on its first tour? This book contains gay sex scenes.

It is 1895 and the Circus Infinitus has finally returned to London after a seven year absence. However not long after their arrival the membrane between reality and the Immaterium rips open, and scores of demons charge out to wreak havoc. But before any real damage is done the incursion is aborted and the demons are banished. But before anyone can figure out why this happened the skies above London, and in fact all over the world, are blackened by the shiny metallic discs of invaders from Mars. Soon discs and Martian walkers are decimating the Earth’s major settlements with their heat-rays and lasers and capturing her people. The only way these marauders can be defeated is if the folks of the Circus Infinitus pool their resources with those of their enemies. Professor Abbacus, the Ringmaster and the Lady with the Seven Faces find themselves working with the likes of the IntelliGent and his imps, and Bishop Victoris of the Stigmata, coordinating pockets of resistance all over the world. Although the Earth’s defenders possess formidable resources and power, the invaders have access to far superior technology – and stolen black Magick from the darkest source imaginable. The Martians will also receive help from a powerful human mage turned traitor. The humans and their allies soon realise that the only way they can fight such evil and hope to win is by using similar power and sorcery to combat them. But there is a price for consorting with such dark forces, as Professor Abbacus and the Ringmaster will discover.

From then on, each night at midnight, Violet changes, never knowing which new shape she will assume. At first Violet rejoices in her new shapes, exploring their strengths and weaknesses. But as the years pass she begins to despair of ever leaving her crumbling family home. She starts feeling as trapped and lost as her mother did until one day, when the Circus Infinitus comes to town.
