The world thinks it knows the Nutcracker Ballet's tale. A battle with a malevolent rat-fatally wounded so a girl and her magical nutcracker can whisk themselves off to the Land of Sweets. But I am that Rat. I didn't die. And the truth is much darker than it seems.
    
    The utopian society which is the Land of Sweets cannot survive without kidnapping talented dancers from the mortal world. They are our Prospects. Once I rebelled against the practice. Now I am one of the Queen's minions myself. I have no choice but to do her bidding. If I refuse, the Queen will take away the one thing that matters to me.
    
    My plan is to choose unsuitable Prospects-ones the Queen will reject and send home. I thought I had succeeded with Claire Sutton. Now I'm not so sure. She keeps surprising me.
    
    The most surprising thing of all?
    
    I don't want her to leave.
