The Autopsy of Us

Logline
An obsessively neat Manhattan novelist and a feral, ink-stained printmaker collide across three continents in a volatile romance that forces them to dissect their deepest defenses-or bleed out trying.

Back-Cover Blurb

Julian Halway built a career on clean rooms, polite sentences, and bloodless precision. Safe behind the immaculate walls of his West Village brownstone, he mastered the art of living without ever risking a bruise.

Then came Elena Morozova.

Fierce, unyielding, and smelling of pine soot and turpentine, Elena doesn't write-she carves. From a bar brawl in Fiji to rain-soaked alleyways in Kyoto and a concrete annex in Hangzhou, Elena shatters Julian's manicured composure with a single, possessive glance. When she makes the reckless leap to pack up her life and follow him to New York, the fragile boundaries keeping them upright collapse completely.

Caught between high-society cocktail parties, cutthroat Chelsea gallery walls, and a shared penthouse slowly being wrecked by sawdust and raw linseed oil, the distance between them narrows to a suffocating edge. Loving each other isn't gentle-it's an interrogation. A relentless, bone-deep dissection of their worst instincts, their oldest scars, and the terrifying truth of what remains when every defense is carved away.

The Autopsy of Us is a visceral, darkly romantic exploration of possession, art, and the ruinous price of being completely known.
