This propulsive, gorgeously-written fantasy romance will pull you into a dazzling world of dancing and danger, fae and fairytales, and a love that endures against all odds.
Musical and immersive, this stunning debut is perfect for fans of The Night Circus and The Moonlight Market.
London, 1986. Trix, a young dancer in the British Classical Ballet Company, has been striving for years to make a name for herself in the competitive and unforgiving world of elite ballet. Aleksander 'Sander' Sylvan is the company's mysterious, meteoric rising star, whose talents are like nothing anyone has seen before.
An eleventh-hour illness among the cast of The Sleeping Beauty changes everything; Trix and Sander are thrown together in the lead roles, surprising everyone with their chemistry. Soon the pair become the company's star attraction, their sizzling on-stage partnership fuelling speculation about their private lives. Trix knows she's falling for Sander, but relationships have always been difficult for her, and as they grow closer, she cannot help but wonder about his past. Who is Sander really? Why won't he talk about his family, or where he comes from?
On the opening night of Romeo & Juliet at the very height of their fame, Sander vanishes without trace. With only a cryptic note to go on, Trix begins to wonder if the magic of the ballets they danced together has invited something truly strange and wondrous into the mortal world.
