All Zylith has ever wanted was to get the lead roll of " the red shoes ballet." Ballet is her life, her escape, her solace. She's well-mannered, intelligent and brings peace to any room she walks in. But she will do anything to succeed.
Grady is the opposite. He's temperamental, cunning, and brings chaos and death to anyone in the vicinity of him. He's the son of a good for nothing mafia don. The only thing that's common between the two is they will do anything; anything to escape their fathers.
•
Zylith experiences a bunch of firsts with Grady, and he with her. Somewhere along the road of denial, broken hearts, and love, he learns one thing: the crown of blood and bone will be his, but the river of the damned will only run dry when he has her by his side.
