Every disaster has its omens—whether it’s strange behavior of birds and animals, a sudden ebb of the tide, or a sky that takes on an unnatural color. But only someone living in anticipation of disaster can see these signs.
Banu managed it.
After all, it was her love that became the starting point for the approaching end of the world.
It all began at the end of July. Banu, captivated by her friend’s stories about incredible parties, signs up for salsa school—and… falls in love with her Teacher.

Something terrible leads Banu into the dark, takes over her soul, makes her love—and makes her die. And she is already ready to give in, ready to dissolve forever into the final dance. A dance on bones.
