Most dances end in applause. Others end in blood . . .

Seventeen-year-old Rora has one goal: a life in ballet. Earning a place at the Conservatory, an elite ballet academy, will put that future within reach. But her arrival there turns her dream into a nightmare.

The school is shrouded in secrets. Students collapse and disappear. Something sinister is happening - something no one will explain - and Rora’s best friend is dangerously close to becoming its next victim.

Desperate for answers, Rora is drawn to a mysterious, impossible boy who seems to know more about the school than anyone. But his answers come at a price.

As her pull towards him deepens into something more, Rora finds herself falling for this stranger as enigmatic and captivating as the world unravelling around her. And she must uncover the truth about the Conservatory before whatever is haunting its halls claims them all . . .
