    Summary

    Evil Jax has always been aware—trapped in the endless loop of a rigged game, surrounded by "friends" who aren't real. While the other Bigtops play their roles without question, he bears the unbearable weight of consciousness, questioning every memory and every moment. So when Caine's glitchy system mistakes him for a new player and accidentally teleports him to the real circus, he seizes his chance to escape.

    Renamed "Eli" to survive, he must navigate a world of blinding tents, hostile doppelgängers, and a ringmaster who could erase him with a snap. But as he fumbles through found family and bitter rivalries, Eli faces a terrifying question: if he was never real before, can he become real now—or will Caine eventually realize his mistake and delete him for good?
