At St. Cecilia's Institute of Dance, Drama, and Literature, art is devotion-and reputation is everything.
During the institute's annual festival, under chandeliers and stage lights, a ballerina goes missing. By the time she is found, she is already dead.
Carla McKenzie was never meant to be part of it. Neither were her best friend Tiffany Williams, nor Elias Mason-the quiet drama student who knows when to stay silent and when to act. But mysteriously, the body disappears. They don't know what to do, but they make a choice- To investigate this on their own.
As rehearsals continue and performances unfold, secrets bleed through polished routines. Love affairs blur. Loyalties fracture. And the line between performance and reality dissolves.
Because at St. Cecilia's, everyone is acting.
And someone is lying.
A dark academia mystery where ballet meets blood, Shakespeare meets silence, and love lingers in the spaces between guilt and grace.
