Issues of servitude and sacrifice simmer beneath the surface of a lush 19th-century fantasy... Come for the ballet costumes, stay for the exposé of corruption

Emily Bain Murphy weaves an exquisite tale of mystery, enchantment and valor. I loved this spellbinding book!
Praise for The Disappearances
Thick with mystery, buried secrets, and magic, nothing is safe in The Disappearances. Be careful, or you might lose yourself in this strange and wondrous world, where stars go missing, reflections don't exist, and the question, how much would you sacrifice for love? is given entirely new meaning. I adored this book!
The Disappearances is a wonder of a book. I lost myself in this world where reflections, scents and stars go missing, and revelled in its reveal
Inventive, ambitious, effortlessly evoking the ephemeral beauties of the workaday world, this elegiac mystery might prompt the reader to ransack Hamlet or Othello in the hope of finding steganographic secrets within
