THE OTHER SIDE OF GOLD

THE OTHER SIDE OF GOLD
Selene Voss has never missed a note in her life.
At seventeen, she is the most decorated young pianist on the Aurum Circuit - the world's most prestigious youth arts competition. Her technique is flawless. Her future is written. Her mother's dream is alive and breathing inside her daughter's chest.
The problem is that Selene can't remember the last time she sat at a piano because she wanted to.
Then she meets Caelum Ashford.
He doesn't know who she is. He doesn't care. He sketches in the margins of rehearsal halls, disappears into staircases, and says things that sit in her chest for days. He has no business being in her world - and yet he is the only person in it who actually sees her.
Not the performance. Her.
Across London, Geneva, and Vienna, Selene keeps winning. And slowly, quietly, terrifyingly - she starts to fall apart.
This is not a story about losing everything.
It is a story about discovering that what you were protecting was never really yours to begin with.
"Your technique is perfect, Sel. It's the only thing about you that is."
