   Summary

   Weiss Schnee has known one constant throughout her entire life: she must be perfect. When one mistake causes her only grasp on perfection to go flying out the window, she vows to spend her entire life rectifying it to make up for past failures.

   But perhaps, along the way, she will find that perfection comes at a price she is unwilling to pay, and she’ll strike out in pursuit of something far more important.
