The Gargoyle - by Michelle Keill (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

How far would you go for love?

An aspiring actress's life takes an unexpected and deadly turn as she sets her sights on achieving her dreams of stardom and capturing the affections of her idol, no matter how horrifying the cost.

Inès Corday has a tragic past and a dangerous obsession.

When, against the odds, she beats hundreds of others to secure a place at the elite Parisian academy run by her idol and great love, acting luminary Christophe Leriche, Inès dares to believe that her luck is about to change. But the darkness that has haunted her throughout her life follows her inside the gates of the Leriche Academy, and Inès begins to understand that her chances of success, and of love, are more remote than ever.

Overlooked by Christophe and shunned by her fellow students, Inès seeks comfort in the sanctity of Notre-Dame. There, high above the Paris rooftops, she gains an unlikely ally and guardian, who confides that there is a way she can make all her dreams come true. Christophe can be hers, it promises, if she is prepared to take some drastic and ghastly 'extra measures'.

Guided by the uncanny insights of her fiendish new protector, Inès hurtles towards her destiny and uncovers the path to realising her deepest, and darkest, desires.

Will Inès risk everything to claim the life she's always wanted, or will the darkness prevail? Don't miss this twisted journey through the City of Light: where dreams are made and nightmares are set in stone.
