By Anna-Marie McLemore
Summer, 1518. A strange sickness sweeps through Strasbourg: women dance in
the streets, some until they fall down dead. As rumors of witchcraft spread,
suspicion turns toward Lavinia and her family, and Lavinia may have to do the
unimaginable to save herself and everyone she loves.Five centuries later, a pair
of red shoes seal to Rosella Oliva?s feet, making her dance uncontrollably. They
draw her toward a boy who knows the dancing fever?s history better than
anyone: Emil, whose family was blamed for the fever five hundred years ago. But
there?s more to what happened in 1518 than even Emil knows, and discovering
the truth may decide whether Rosella survives the red shoes.With McLemore's
signature lush prose, Dark and Deepest Red pairs the forbidding magic of a fairy
tale with a modern story of passion and betrayal.
