Annaleigh Thaumas lives in a seaside manor where four of her twelve sisters have died under suspicious circumstances, and whispers of a family curse sweep the island. When her surviving sisters begin secretly attending glittering midnight balls, Annaleigh follows — and finds herself entangled with a mysterious stranger while piecing together whether the deaths are accidents, murder, or something darker. A gothic retelling of 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses' that leans hard into horror and divine mythology.
