Allegra thinks being at a performing-arts high school will change her life and make her a better dancer. But high school is still high school, complete with cliques, competition and cruelty. Allegra's refuge comes in the form of a class she doesn't want to take, music theory, taught by a very young, very attractive male teacher. Soon all Allegra can think about is music composition, and Mr. Rochelli. But has she misunderstood his attention, or is he really her soul mate?

How does she know? And who is the other Allegra? The girl in a long white nightdress, who has golden hair and big blue eyes. The girl who comes only at night, and whose hands and face are cold, so cold . . .

And Emma quickly discovers juggling school, a new crush, friends, and a secret identity might not be as glamorous as she thought.
