Kuroshitsuji: Book Of Circus Novels & Stories

“It senses him.” Before anyone could speak, the book shuddered. Then flipped itself open again—pages flying violently, as if hands far stronger than theirs had seized it. Shadows bled from the text, curling like smoke, spilling off the table and crawling along the ground. Elias instinctively took a step back. “Kairis,” Lucian barked. “What the hell is that?” She didn’t answer right away. Her pupils were dilated, black eating at the whites of her eyes as she stared into the center of the book.

I suggest, giving my shoulder a slight shrug. Kenji picks up a book and passes it over to Levi to place beside his book on the other table. Levi looks down at it and grimaces before setting it next to the ghost book. My brows rise in curiosity as I walk over to see the book. Forbidden Sex Magic stares back at me in bright red letter, the picture of a naked woman being rammed into by a centaur graces the cover. “Well that is disturbing.” I tell them, placing the book back down and putting the ghost book on top of it to hide the cover. Levi and Kenji let out loud spurts of laughter behind me as they watch my discomfort over the book.

"For a Nightingale and Blackwood working together." He hesitates, then nods, releasing my arm. Together, we reach for the box. The moment our hands touch the wood, a surge of energy races up my arm—not painful, but intensely warm. The carved branches on the box's surface begin to glow with soft blue light, illuminating our faces in the dimness. "Recognition spell," Cain murmurs. "It knows who we are." The lid of the box swings open on its own, revealing its contents: a small leather-bound book and what appears to be a smooth crystal sphere about the size of a golf ball.

Frustration mounted in him as he tried to find a clue. *** Neil Titus, a demon, and the director of the Shadow Crawlers, sat with a grim look as his dark eyes scanned the reports. His thick brown hair was combed back, and his posture radiated concern. With a loud sigh, he got up and smoothed the tailored suit.

Instinctively, my hand rested on the hilt of my sword as I stepped beside him. He picked up the first book on the stack: The Compendium of the First Blood. It was a book so old its pages were made of cured vellum that should have lasted ten thousand years. I watched as he opened it and gasped. Cold rushed through my veins—the book was mutilated. "This is the chapter about the ancient evils," Orion commented as he flipped the pages. It seemed like something, or someone, had reached into the book and torn off the pages with claws. I suppressed the anger bubbling to the surface at such damage done to something so historical.

he cut him off and Jace paused for a few seconds before answering. “Our library. My grandfather kept books of ancient stories about every supernatural being so I just grabbed a random one about the witches and gave it to her.” Jace replied. “There is nothing on the cover. I need to know who wrote this book or what the hell it is about. It's not in English, nor is it in a language a person can understand.” Lucino said. “Yes. Only Aurora or a witch can understand it. Is something wrong with her?” Jace asked. “I think I made a mistake by letting her know things about herself and it all started with this book,” Lucino answered.

Kyra, Eldon, and Marcus held hands, their collective power enhancing Selene's magic. Initially, the wards put up a fight, but over time, they started to falter. Selene's singing became more intense, and the brightness from the book grew stronger. Finally, the protective barriers broke with a sudden surge of energy, causing the book to fall open, its pages emitting a supernatural glow. Kyra moved ahead, her gaze fixed on the book's contents. The sheets contained mysterious characters and old spells, revealing the sorcerer's source of power to them. "Here it is," Kyra exclaimed, her voice brimming with wonder. "This is the thing we have been looking for."

I gasp, surprised and confused “But, why?” Walking through the library, heading toward the darkened back, flames light up against the wall as we pass, illuminating our path. “Because of this,” Althea stops, holding up her hand. Both Crimson and I turn to face what she is showing us. “A mirror?” Crimson scoffs, “What makes this mirror special enough to kill and almost wipe out a Pride?” His words die off when his eyes land on the enormous frosted, looking glass. Framed by an unknown dark metal that swirls and bends around the clouded mirror, carved with images of Jaguars, Bears, Wolfs, and humans, all the way to the top. In the center of the frame, sits an emblem of twisted vines and swords t

With that, he left me at the table with the book in my hand. I eagerly flipped open the pages and came across the introduction penned by the author. It read, "In this book, we have compiled all the authenticated information about Cerberus the Reaper and his Minions." As I delved further into the pages, I stumbled upon a passage that increased my interest - it detailed a ritual involving the creation of a salt circle, triggering a flashback of a night from my past. Intrigued, I decided to start from the beginning, where a warning greeted me: "If you are faint-hearted, do not proceed. This is not your typical fantasy."
