Like stumbling upon a rosebush in the wild

The cover of this novel beckons danger, but the exquisite expression on the character's face shows a determination beyond reason. Who bathes in blood?! This tale immediately pulls you in with the contrasting descriptions of the cast, rendering fine details of the core characters. The protagonist has spent a lifetime looking in from the outside, in spite of consistently being at the top. She has had to study every ballet feature, pedigree, and movement in order to test herself for perfection. She knows that working twice as hard is not enough. She goes beyond the finish line with every task to be the undeniable winner. Her weapons include dogged precision, coupled with a removed yet aware assessment of the obstacles before her. It's giving Center Stage and the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, if Prudence were the star.
