Marionetta, Volume 2

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling creator of Hooky comes the next chapter in this thrilling YA dark fantasy series about a teenage girl trapped in a magical travelling circus populated by immortals. This volume includes newly-expanded artwork and the next chapter of an exclusive original story!

A dangerous plot. An immortal's death. A dark decision—the Webtoon sensation with over a million readers comes to print for the first time!

Julia Lazarrett's world has been turned upside down. Now an immortal member of Anthonn Gremminger's travelling circus, the life she once imagined is out of reach. She'll never marry. She'll never start a family. She may not ever even see her dad again.

Just as Julia begins to accept these facts, everything shifts once more as her relationship with Sahed, the illusionist, deepens. Drawn into his longstanding feud with the Kalgratti government, Julia discovers that the leaders she looked up to have secretly used ancient spirits and powerful magic to shape the world while dismissing their existence as myths.

Unsettled and uncertain, Julia can only hold onto one truth: she's running out of time to decide whether she's going to murder Anthonn or give up her second lease on life. And while she never saw herself as a killer, she's just witnessed the ringmaster commit an unspeakable act...
