A group of hauntingly beautiful girls have been bound together by a cruel curse—and one of them
will go to any lengths to save them from their violent dance. Phantom of the Opera meets Black
Swan in this breathtakingly gorgeous gothic fantasy about love and control that will never let
you go. In the legendary ballet theatre of New Kora the girls onstage enchant the audience
each night with their grace and divine beauty. Before Emberlyn was the star of the show it was
her dream to become one of them . . . until she learned the price of their living nightmare. A
magical curse binds the girls to the show's mastermind Malcolm whose invisible strings wield
their limbs as if they are marionettes . . . and the commands don’t stop when the curtain comes
down. Each dancer is destined to turn to dust once the curse consumes her. When the troupe is
invited to perform in the glitzy city of Parlizia Emberlyn knows this could be her best chance
to save them all. She meets an elusive boy made of shadows who has a magical connection to the
girls. Together they work to unravel the haunting truth about their creation and fight for
their survival. But the cost of freedom might be too high and as Emberlyn dances closer to the
edge of darkness she realizes she might break the curse . . . or break her own heart forever.
