The Midnight Dance
Published by Feiwel & Friends
A teen uncovers a strange conspiracy at an exclusive Italian ballet school in this debut novel blending gothic horror, science fiction, and romance.
“A dark adventure, stunningly written!” —Jay Asher, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Thirteen Reasons Why
Seventeen-year-old Penny is a lead dancer at the Grande Teatro, a finishing school where she and eleven other young women are training to become the finest ballerinas in Italy. Tucked deep in the woods, the school is overseen by the mysterious and handsome young Master, who keeps the girls ensconced in the estate—and in the only life Penny has ever known.
When flashes of memories—memories of a life very different from the one she thinks she’s been leading—start to appear, Penny begins to question the Grande Teatro and the motivations of Master. With a kind and attractive kitchen boy, Cricket, at her side, Penny vows to escape the confines of her school and the strict rules that dictate every step she takes. But at every turn, Master finds a way to stop her, and Penny must uncover the secrets of her past before it’s too late.
“Deliciously dark and twisty, taking you on a luscious ride.” —Suzanne Lazear, author of the Aether Chronicles series
