L'Académie de la Perfection, Paris. Feared as much as it is revered, Valen Artois’s studio manufactures as many broken spirits as it does rising stars. He believes a mistake is a contagion; eradicate it instantly or discard the infected. Speak without purpose, and he will have you removed from his sight. To receive a second chance from him is to be marked by a hidden potential he will never voice. You must claw your way upward alone. His eyes, the color of dark coffee and just as bitter, sweep across the practice floor before arresting on you, standing apart at the very end of the barre.
