In life there are things that are said, and then there are those that remain unsaid. For Keely Staub, her life mostly remained in the latter category. She kept the depth of her love of music hidden, even from her best friends. But when one song changes the world she lives in, shaking it to it's very core, everything she knows is about to change. Her future and a hidden past collide as she wades through a world she'd never dared to dream of. One that allows her half heart to maybe find an equally broken one in the unlikely source of Seth Ryan.

Keely Staub has grown up. At least that's what she thinks has happened. No longer a naive eighteen year old being introduced to a music industry that's equal parts grandeur and grime, she might even be considered a veteran. At just twenty six, she's lived almost too much of a life in the intervening years since she first came to New York. A great love and a great band, not to mention more than a few unsavoury addictions picked up along the way in the time honoured traditions of the rock stars before her. And she gave it all up - except the rock star part, of course. That was a different Keely Staub, a more innocent and wild one all at the same time. She's determined that person and all the things that came with her will stay in the past, and has a very clear path laid in front of her. A measured, smart, hopefully one day respected, path. The problem is the past refuses to remain the past.

Across the continent of Emiraine, black chasms ravage the land, bringing with them monsters from ancient times. In the ruins of an once mighty Empire, a god-king waits to woken. And in the quiet, echoing halls of the Glass Palace, a plot is carried out that could unite two kingdoms together, or destroy what little remains of their fragile peace. Orphaned by the Abyssal War and sold into the service of assassins as a child, Rylen has only ever known a life where trust was a myth and love was a lie. But when she is dragged into a plan that could either shape the future between the four kingdoms or ruin what little peace there is left, she must decide where her alliances are. Rylen quickly finds that there is more to survival than a quick wit and a sharp tongue when she finds herself fighting in a war no one knows how to win. Rylen quickly finds that Ylaisse is a far different place than the palaces of Bazgrik, and that allies might just be worth the price of trust. Though she discovers a kindred spirit in the pirate prince, Necalli, and the heir to the summer throne, Rosaline, she also quickly discovers enemies in the halls of the sun as well. Tensions and rivalries are quick to brew, threatening the stability of her new home and forcing Rylen to question just what she is willing to give up in pursuit of her kingdoms survival and just how long she can keep her secret from getting out. But when a noble is found dead, quickly followed by another, Rylen finds that her secret might not be the only thing the fate of everything rests upon. As she races against the clock to find the murderer and avoid being accused herself, Rylen unravels a history between the four kingdoms lost to time, and discovers that her role in it might be greater than she'd ever imagined.

Jude Turner has a problem. Actually, she has a few of concerning fame, alcohol, rivalries, lifestyle and hiatus. Yet - for the moment - her main affair is a solo album. With the band she'd joined at just fifteen years old going on a break, Jude is left wallowing for over a year until she decides to make that elusive solo album. But she goes one step further when she decides to go deep into the Californian desert to record at a legendary studio. When a musical rivalry as old as time is renewed with The Bends, a band cemented on the tumultuous relationship of Cam and Logan Harrison, she can't seem to find stable footing in this new solo world, let alone enough to stand her own against two obnoxiously arrogant brothers. It could be the album of a lifetime or the nightmare of hers. And Jude is finding that there's a very thin line that separates the two.
