Byways #13, Among the Tents: A Ganix Johns Adventure. Ganix finds the perfect job in a bustling seaside town that’s famous for its circus. Flashy costumes, dazzling magic shows, and a kind-hearted ringmaster make it possible for Hurlock and Galena to keep their secret. Until one of the sideshow attractions starts acting strange.
“If this is a Wild place, shouldn’t it be more obvious? You could say that these are magic trees, covered in magic moss, growing out of magic dirt, and it’s all the same to me.” Bree asked, “Can’t you conjure up a pixie or a dragon, or at least a wisp of foxfire?”

“Awake?”
“Wake,” Jovan corrected. “Like a ship’s wake. When colonists enter the land without making peace with the wilderness, the wild parts retreat. Only a little magic is left in its wake. Just enough to hide some surprises.”
“Nope, this isn’t wake.” Zane peered around the woods from Hobo’s saddle. “Whatever these people did when they settled, they did it right. Magic runs deep around here.”

“You.”
Ewan offered a weak smile. “Yes, miss?”
“You’re not Jovan.” Her surprise shifted into dazzling happiness, and she actually hugged him.
“N-no.” Beyond flustered, Ewan cleared his throat. “I do apologize, miss, but do I know you? I’m afraid I don’t remember ….”
“Ewan Johns!” she exclaimed.
“Yes, I’m Ewan.”
“I can’t believe how much you look like Jovan! All you need is a pair of glasses. And maybe a few ruffles.”
