About The Book
“Death lay in wait, cloaked in the twilight shadows of the temple wings. The chosen ballerina rose onto her pointes, a glittering dagger poised to pierce the heart of her audience.”
Seventeen-year-old Silva was meant to be the next Crown Ballerina - a symbol of divine grace and glory. But the sacred ritual was destroyed, her rival Marrock claimed the crown, and Silva was cast aside.
Now the warrior-born Syn are blamed. Once outsiders, they are again condemned.
To uncover the truth, Silva must trust a rogue Syn and a spoilt prince in a world where every dance is a battle and one wrong step could set everything ablaze.
Step into the fire where destiny dances on a knife’s edge.
