Vanessa Adler knows that dancing runs in her family, but she isn't so sure that she belongs at the prestigious New York Ballet Academy. She didn't go to NYBA to dance--instead, she went in hopes of finding her older sister, Margaret, who mysteriously disappeared from the Academy three years ago. But Vanessa should have known that there's more to NYBA than meets the eye. She should have known that the two boys so eagerly willing to help her each had their own motives.
