Kabaclaan Stories

Eris Amethyst Valentina D. Demidova-Wintercrest was born with the world at her feet and a bloodline sharp enough to slice diamonds. A prodigy sculpted by prestige, ballet, piano, architecture, she could've ascended to any empire she desired. But the life scripted for her by her Russian grandparents was suffocating: every move rehearsed, every breath monitored, every future promised to men in suits and silent dinners. They wanted a legacy. She wanted to breathe. Despite the medals, the degrees, and the titles that glittered behind her name, Eris chose chaos. She became Discord Demidov, the piano-playing, strawberry-macaron-stealing, tattoo-wearing band vocalist hiding behind a pseudonym and a tragic winged eyeliner. She vanished into the Philippines under a false identity, ghosting Europe like an old ex and choosing cafés over castles, street gigs over ballrooms, and found family over royal ties. To most, she was just Discord; a mysterious foreigner, oddly refined, oddly fluent in Tagalog curse words, and trying to survive in Manila's heat with a band of other beautiful misfits. No one knew her last name was once weighed down by Wintercrest diamonds and Demidov scandals. Because truthfully? She didn't know if they'd still love her if they knew who she really was. The girl behind the secrets. The broken heiress in hiding. The pansexual perfectionist with a vendetta against the Nikolai family and a heart bleeding lyrics in every song she writes. But secrets don't stay buried forever. And some truths have a way of singing their way back to you. [Treacherous Series #1]
