Ava belonged to me. No one else could be with her, and no one else would do for me. It would take time and gifts, wine and listening, whatever else, but she would understand one day. She would know only me. Once I had Ava in my grips, I would never release her.
MISHA
For a year, Kazimirâs cousin Misha has been obsessed with Avaâthe only black ballerina in the Mariinsky theater company. When the opportunity arises to spend time with Ava, Misha seizes it. But over and over distractions appearâa psycho here, and there, a devil, stolen nukes, and even a missing corpse.
Over and over, obstacles arise.
Can Misha battle them all as he fights for Avaâs love? Or will he never get his ballerina?
AVA
Ballet is all Ava has ever known. Due to the murder of the companyâs prima ballerina, Ava was given the principal role in the ballet. On opening night, she blew minds and captured everyoneâs hearts. If the company keeps her in the position, they will be making history. There has been no ethnic principal in the Mariinsky Theaterâs 150 years of operation.
But is Russia ready for their first black prima ballerina? And what dark, threatening things come with the position?
