Night Circus / Erin Morgenstern / 387 pages / ALA Rusa RL - Best Adult Genre Fiction

This is a most unusual tale of a competition, a challenge, between two master magicians.  It is not the first competition of its kind between the two, but hopefully, it will be the last.  Cecelia is the daughter of the one of the magicians and the player he sponsors.  Marco is the other magician's player, an orphan raised and trained for this purpose.  Unfortunately, the competition must end with the death of one of the participants, and Cecelia and Marco have fallen in love.
