Description
A propulsive, gorgeously written fantasy romance that pulls you into a dazzling world of dancing and danger, fae and fairytales, and a love that endures against all odds.
Musical and immersive, this stunning debut is perfect for fans of The Night Circus and The Moonlight Market.
London, 1986. Trix is a young ballerina striving to make a name for herself in the cutthroat, unforgiving world of dance. Aleksander 'Sander' Sylvan is the company's mysterious, meteoric rising star, whose talents are like nothing anyone has seen before.
An eleventh-hour illness among the cast of The Sleeping Beauty changes everything: Trix and Sander are thrown together in the lead roles. Soon, the pair become the company's star attraction, their sizzling on-stage chemistry fuelling speculation about their private lives. Trix quickly finds herself falling for Sander, but as they grow closer, she cannot help but wonder about his past. Who is Sander really? Why won't he talk about his family, or where he comes from?
Then, on the opening night of Romeo and Juliet at the very height of their fame, disaster strikes. With Sander missing and only a cryptic note to guide her, Trix begins to wonder if the magic they created together onstage was more than just a fairytale.
Perhaps something truly strange and wondrous has entered the mortal world...

Reviews
A truly magical debut. Within her not-quite-historical setting, Lexy Hudson combines the world of music and dance with a dark fairytale element and a testing personal journey for her protagonists. This novel will make you smile, it will make you cry, it will set your feet tapping.
-Juliet Marillier, award-winning author of the Blackthorn & Grim series
Wonders Never Cease is a beautifully written story. It's deft, romantic and devoted to the magical art form that is ballet.
-Rym Kechacha, author of The Apple and the Pearl
