Paris, 1941. Beneath the glittering chandeliers of the Palais Garnier, prima ballerina Céleste Moreau dances for an audience that includes the enemy. The Germans have occupied the city—and her beloved Opera House—but behind the graceful steps and dazzling costumes lies a dangerous game of resistance and survival.
By day, Céleste plays the part of the obedient artist. By night, she risks her life smuggling coded messages hidden in costume seams, working with a covert network determined to undermine the Nazi regime. Every performance is a cover, every pirouette a distraction—but when a high-stakes mission targets a powerful German officer, the line between art and espionage blurs beyond recognition.
As arrests close in and betrayal lurks within the company, Céleste must face the ultimate question: How far will she go to protect the people she loves and the city that defines her?
Rich in historical detail and taut with suspense,Shadows of Garnier is a heart-pounding tale of love, sacrifice, and the unyielding power of art in the darkest of times—perfect for fans of The Nightingale, All the Light We Cannot See, and The Paris Library.
