Synopsis
Rock god Isaac Ackerman stands at the dazzling center of his 'Paradise Circus,' a world built on fame and fervent adoration. But when a captivating stranger named Faith enters his orbit, she offers a glimpse into a realm of intense desire and dangerous allure hidden just beneath the surface of his gilded life.
Isaac finds himself drawn towards an obsession that challenges everything he thought he knew, blurring the familiar lines between control and surrender. As he steps further into the shadows, he begins to suspect that those closest to him—especially his quiet wife, Ophelia—may hold the deepest, most unsettling secrets of all.
Paradise Circus is a mesmerizing journey into the intoxicating mystery of hidden passions and the masks we wear. In this high-stakes world of illusion and shifting power, what terrifying truth awaits when the performance finally ends?
About Ismael Alves
Ismael Alves is a Product Owner by day, a History Teacher by heart, and a storyteller in all the spaces between. With a passion for systems—whether digital, historical, or human—his work explores the tension between control and collapse, the past and what we make of it.
Paradise Circus is his debut novel: a dark descent into desire, identity, and the quiet violence we carry. He writes with a curious mind and a bruised kind of tenderness, always circling the things we can’t name but feel anyway.
When he’s not writing, he’s reading too many books at once, building worlds (in LEGO or not), traveling, or losing hours to a playlist he knows by heart.
