  Everything that could go wrong—did. 
  Kade’s loyalties are tangled in something far more treacherous than any of us realized.

It also includes statues, frightful paintings, and a locked portfolio bound in tanned human skin.One day, the two learn of a particular grave, which sparks a profound interest in them: an old grave in a Holland cemetery which holds a legendary tomb raider within, one who is said to have stolen, many years ago, a "potent thing from a mighty sepulchre."

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  “They say art imitates life. 
  But here, art demands the sacrifice of life. 
  The students bleed, 
  and we— 
  we applaud their devotion.” 
  —From the diary of Madame E. 
  Some places remember pain; 
  Not as memory, but as hunger. 
  Not in the way we humans remember, with trauma, 
  but deeper—like a house that groans for what once happened within its wall. 
  There is a ballet academy hidden in the folds of the Carpathians, carved into the woods like a secret no one dares to speak aloud. It welcomes young women dancers from across Europe-those who dream of perfection, of ovations, of fame. 
  But perfection demands sacrifice. And some sacrifices never end. 
  Elisa, our protagonist, arrives at the reclusive ballet academy, 
  tucked away in a forgotten corner of Europe, 
  a place steeped in rigid tradition and unyielding discipline. 
  But it doesn’t take long before the unease begins to seep in. 
  The mirrors do not reflect as they should— 
  Some bleed. 
  The students move with eerie precision, 
  like marionettes whose strings are pulled from somewhere unseen. 
  And then, 
  one by one, 
  they begin to disappear. 
  Inspired by classic European horror films, this chilling and suspenseful tale follows the protagonist, Elisa, as she enrolls in a secluded ballet school located in a remote corner of Europe. There, she begins to experience strange occurrences and gradually uncovers the dark secrets hidden within the school’s elegant façade.
