"Torture has been defined...as 'deliberate inhuman treatment causing very serious and cruel suffering'. The degree of suffering is the main difference between torture and inhuman treatment, but it also has to be deliberate, for example...to intimidate."

“The Extravaganza Eternia is a mesmerising journey through a magical circus full of wondrous creatures with friendship and love as our final destination.” Eugenia Triantafyllou, author of The Giants of the Violet Sea "The Extravaganza Eternia is a dive of all your senses into the magical world of the circus. A phantasmagorical murder mystery that forces the reader to face deep and unrelenting darkness but also offers powerful sun rays of hope that warm your heart. Don't miss it!" — Ioanna Papadopoulou, author of Winter Harvest “The Extravaganza Eternia is a sparkling murder mystery set in a supernatural circus filled with otherworldly acts... Osani seamlessly blends dark curses and gory murders with the magic and glitter of the circus world in a fast-paced story that feels like a colourful fever dream.” Jelena Dunato, author of Dark Woods, Deep Water "A glittering tale of big top murder that will swing you breathlessly from the dark depths of loneliness and betrayal to the sparkling heights of hope and human perseverance. The circus is in town! Get excited. Osani’s work is not to be missed." C.J. Lavigne, author of In Veritas
