Blades & Ballet: Enemy of the Wind - Hardcover

"The narghoulim comes! Snickity-snack-with jaws of steel and claws a'clack! Gnash-Gnaw- Bite-Thraw! Here it comes over the mountains, child. Here it comes over the mountains. The narghoulim comes! The narghoulim comes! Tumble down, scamper past. Find your love-enfold and clasp. Drippity-drop, the waterclock stops. There we go over the mountain, child. There we end over the mountains." - Finni nursery rhyme.

Vera's life was filled with a loving family, supportive friends and neighbors who cared for each other. All of that ended when a narghoulim devoured them, or as the finni say, "Taken over the mountain." Hunted by the revenant god, the only place safe for them is the city of Adalace, home of the chevalières - ballet-knights with the power to slay the titanic monsters. But after another close call from their ravenous pursuer, Vera refuses to settle for just survival, instead they enrolled in the Regal Ballet Academy to train in both dance and combat. With help from their friends, dedication, and a whole lot of luck, Vera must breach the Glass to claim their divine power before their sixteenth birthday or else all is lost. It's a race against time with a special prize for winning - the opportunity for vengeance!
