Notes to Serenade (Written in Melodies Series #1)

August Rade Montevallo lives between two worlds. Nights drowned in neon lights and roaring guitars, days spent buried under papers, exams, and expectations. As the lead guitarist of a rising band, he thrives in chaos, freedom, and noise. Yet despite the late nights and reckless rhythm of his life, his name still sits comfortably at the top of the academic board, untouched, unchallenged. An impossible balance that makes him both admired and resented.

Amiah Avriel Velasquez, on the other hand, is discipline incarnate. Cold, composed, and relentlessly focused, he lives by structure and silence, believing that excellence demands sacrifice. To him, August is everything that shouldn't work but does.

No matter how different their worlds are, they keep meeting in the margins, where written lines falter and unfinished melodies begin. And somewhere between rankings, late nights, and stolen glances, between academic papers and half-written melodies, Amiah's one sided hatred begins to falter, while August starts tracing melodies through the spaces Amiah leaves between his lines.
