The Boy, the Girl and the Wooden Box

In the shadowy realm of the Obscura, where terror reigns and the familiar twists into the surreal, a man's mysterious drowning in the River Seine sets off a chain of events involving two children, Phillipe and Angelique. Ensnared in a dark circus, they find themselves caught between the oppressive Gaslampers, who control the streets with brutality, and the Calibrators, who are resisting evil in hopes of reuniting with their hero, the Aigle. As they search for a way home, the children discover they were brought to this perilous world for a sinister purpose, with only their seemingly unremarkable father standing between them and despair. "The Boy, the Girl and the Wooden Box" is the gripping first installment of the Obscura trilogy.
