Aurelia Knight

Ballerinas and bad men.

Book 1: Dance, Sugarplum

The Royal Ballet proudly presents the return of a beloved Christmas classic: The Nutcracker

His eyes stick to me, burning my skin as I twirl across the stage. My legs ache with exhaustion, and my head spins, but his hunger pushes me to excellence.

His voice echoes in my mind with each step, reminding me that my best isn’t enough anymore. This Christmas he’s the only thing between me and rock bottom.

Mikhail is the only director brave enough to take a has-been like me, but I’m not foolish to think his acts are born out of kindness. His price is high, and his demands are darker.

Snow flurries, sugar plums, and sweet magic.

I'm the broken nutcracker’s doll, and I enter his world willingly knowing there’s no coming back.

A dark and twisted retelling series by author Aurelia Knight. Book 1: Devoured. I want his head mounted on my wall, and he wants a ring on my finger. There’s something very wrong in Grimm Groves. The bodies pile. The mountain soaks with blood. And everyone in my small town acts like I’m insane. They smile in line at the general store. People I’ve known all my life die by the dozen, and I’m helpless to stop it. Then I find the villain waiting in my bed, and he’s taken everything from me. Since I’ve got nothing left, I’ve also got nothing to lose. In this tiny town where nothing seems real, maybe we can both get what we want. Devoured is a dark Little Red retelling, part of the Aurelia books collection, so please check the beginning of the book before reading. Fans of 'Hacked and Hallowed' and 'Mind to Bend' by Aurelia Knight will appreciate this gripping tale.
