A novel about obsession, ambition and the price of success
Vera is only nineteen years old when she arrives alone at one of the most demanding ballet schools in New York. With a big dream and a bag full of sacrifices, she doesn't know that the world she wants so much will devour her.
On the first day, he meets Tora - a beautiful, talented and intense Argentine, who offers him protection, passion and a love that quickly becomes suffocating. A devouring relationship is born between them, marked by ferocious jealousy, hot sex and a dangerous addiction.
Soon, Vera discovers that the world of ballet is much crueler than she thought: a legendary teacher who wants to possess her, a dangerously attractive partner, and a mysterious mogul who offers her a chance at an international career. Caught between desire, ambition and fear, Vera must choose: to obey or to fight for her freedom.
But the Tora's obsession knows no bounds. When love turns into hate, violence becomes inevitable.
The Ballerina is a dark, sensual, and unsettling novel about the price we pay for our biggest dream - and how easily love can turn into the most dangerous enemy.
