Starling's world has unraveled. Her parents' bitter divorce has left her reeling, seeking solace in books as she hides from the chaos. But when she's reluctantly pushed into therapy, she begins to open up, slowly coming out of her shell. What she doesn't expect, though, is the devastating truth that comes to light-one so crushing that she runs from everything she's ever known.
Adopting the false name "Mirage," Starling escapes her past and reinvents herself, enrolling in a new school and diving into the world of music. With raw emotion and a new identity, she starts recording songs, pouring her heart into every note. One of her tracks, "Shades of Gold," becomes an unexpected hit, thrusting her into the spotlight.
As Mirage's popularity soars, she meets Umber, a famous artist who sees through her carefully constructed mask. But to Umber, she's still Mirage-a mystery wrapped in a song. Torn between the love she feels for him and the dark truth she's running from, Starling must decide: Will she risk everything to come clean and reveal who she really is, or will the weight of her past destroy everything she's worked for before she has the chance to make her choice?

A Maybank and A Cameron? It's almost like a modern Romeo and Juliet. It's forbidden for them to be together. Could be the end of the world.
The stolen glances, the hidden feelings, the unspoken words, the secret meetings and the obvious hatred towards each other followed by constant conflicts and some hidden past that threatened them but there are always invisible strings tied and pulling them together no matter how hard the tides trying to pull and part them away from each other.
