Berlin 1999
Ophelia Laurent has left America behind six months ago for the prestigious Faye of Arts Academy, a place of stained-glass windows, cracked mirrors, and traditions older than the city itself. She came for ballet and music, but the academy carries a darker legacy - one whispered in the halls, barely printed in history books, and performed at every winter solstice gathering.
Matthias Casimir Hartmann. Prodigy. Tragedy. The Demon of Art. He died at twenty, yet his name still stalks the academy like a shadow.
When Ophelia meets him - a gifted, elusive dancer who shouldn't exist - she is pulled into a story three centuries old. He knows how his life will end. She wonders if fate can be rewritten. Together, they learn that love, like art, demands a sacrifice.

So they try to help each other, and fight each other's demons, since dealing with your own is too hard. But what if they have the same demons? What then?
