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?

The Blood Credit by r_afterdark
39 parts Ongoing Mature
❝"Please... please, please," I whine into his mouth, broken and needy. He smirks against my lips, savouring my desperation. "Please what, pretty girl? Hm? Talk to me- I know you can." ❞ ⁺˚⋆。°✩₊✩°。⋆˚⁺ At Novae Vale, secrets aren't kept. They're traded. After a year lost to grief, Scarlett Cheslyn-Arden steps through the iron gates of the world's most elite academy and straight into the shadows of the Order, a society where favours have teeth and debts are written in blood. Win the Trials and you earn a single promise powerful enough to crown a king or ruin a family. She's ice-poised, untouchable, determined to survive on her own terms. He's heat-Xavier Caelum, her brother's best friend, her fiancé to be, a walking sin with lazy smiles and razor edges. They're paired for the Trials, bound by rules that make desire dangerous and silence compulsory. Underground fights thrum beneath the pool house. Poker nights hum with champagne and lies. There are masks, messages, and the kind of parties where music vibrates through your bones. In the dark between competitions, their banter turns sharp, their glances turn heavy, and touch becomes a promise neither of them should make. To win the Blood Credit, Scarlett must play the Order's game-clever, ruthless, unafraid. To keep her heart, she should stay away from Xavier. But when power tastes like his mouth and safety looks a lot like his hands on her waist, restraint starts to feel like a losing strategy. A sensual, slow-burn elite dark romance about found family, forbidden desire, and the cost of choosing your own fate-where every secret has a price, and every kiss is a risk.
