Coddled by her grandparents, the teenage Celimene leads a happy, peaceful life. Between school, friends and her equestrian competitions, she never has time to get bored. But one day–quite by accident–she crosses the path of a girl her own age who belongs to a traveling circus. The girl wears a ring just like the one on Celimene’s finger… a ring given to her by her father, about whom Celimene knows nothing. Could these circus people — whom her grandmother seems to so strongly distrust — hold the secret of Celimene’s own origins? With the help of her two best friends, Celimene decides to find out.
