For many years no one had occupied Foxtail Orchards, a small farm in the middle of Wiltshire, England, until Paloma's aunt decides to start a new life in the countryside and brings her two nephews along to spend the summer. However, they find it hard to enjoy their stay in the house. Everything about the place is near-colapse and creepy, strange noises, doors banging out of the blue, walls falling apart... but the oddest of all are the golden lights that appear randomly anywhere, specially during dawn.
Paloma becomes friends with a girl from a close-by village, Elizabeth, who takes her to see the woods where her friend, Callum Randolph, lives. After that, she didn't see her again for some days until, one night, something in the distance catches her attention and leads her to a mysterious place.
Noor, a dancer in the Royal Court of the Al-Yauzhan Empire wants nothing more than to pay off her debts and lead a nice, simple life-but a chance encounter with the crown prince and his brother brings her into the dangerous world of court politics. As Noor and the princes investigate their uncle and cousin's possible treason, she grows closer to the crown prince, but in order to save the kingdom and the person she loves, Noor will have to risk everything...
A romantic adventure set in an imagined Arabic kingdom, THE DANCING GIRL is a story of court intrigues, romantic entanglements, and secret meetings as Noor and her best friend Amir try to help the princes they're falling for expose corrupt court officials with plans to seize the throne. Noor and Amir are close to having everything they've ever dreamed of...now all they need to do is survive.
