Dark academia meets suspense in the heart of Paris: the world of ballet with dramatic thrills and a love that leaves us gasping for breath.
Aurélie Cardot is back at the Pure Grace Academy with only one goal: to uncover the truth about her mother’s death. Celebrated prima ballerina Cécile Cardot, founder of the prestigious ballet academy in Paris, was found dead on the bank of a river. Supposedly a suicide, but not in her daughter’s eyes. Back in the halls Aurélie once swore never to return to, she follows every lead in order to piece together the shattered remains of her family. There she meets her former best friend Lucian, from whom she has not heard a single word since leaving the academy. Yet now, in the emerald-green eyes of the attractive pianist, Aurélie discovers feelings she herself has denied for years. Their shared pas de deux brings down more than just his facade. Behind the flawless faces of the ballet, the dark shadows of the past are still dancing, until the final curtain falls – and takes Aurélie with it.
