Perfection has a price. And at Vallée Noire Conservatory... it's death.
When 19-year-old ballet prodigy Élodie Laurent is accepted into the elite Swan Corps of the Vallée Noire Ballet Conservatory, it feels like a dream - until dancers begin to die.
Hidden in the French countryside, the conservatory is cloaked in legacy and shadow, haunted by whispers of a dancer who vanished the year before. As Élodie rises through the ranks, she uncovers more than rivalries and obsession - she unearths a dark tradition masked in tulle and blood.
With the help of a troubled pianist and the secrets buried in a lost dancer's journal, Élodie must unravel the truth behind the conservatory's deadly history. But as she's cast in the role of the Swan Queen - a part that has led others to ruin - she begins to question everything: her memories, her sanity, and even her innocence.
In a world where beauty is worshiped and sacrifice is tradition, Élodie must decide: will she survive the performance of a lifetime... or become its final act?
