As far as Elsey Hollanger is concerned, she has no artistic talent whatsoever. She can't paint, she can't sculpt, and she can't draw for the life of her. Totally and completely talentless.
When her older sister returns from her school for the arts raving about the place, Elsey is shipped off to L'Académie Artiste - the finest arts academy for miles.
Embarrassed by her supposed lack of talent, Elsey strives to prove to her classmates that she belongs at LAA - especially Charles Lindt. Charlie is an expert designer, and Elsey is paranoid that he can see right through her façade.
Caught in a lie, Elsey engages in a special 'project' - prove herself to Charlie Lindt as a true artist.
Or at least convince him.

With her song in mind she jumps into the pool of strangers and secrets, her deepest desire to find the one who sings the song only she knows. ~~~~~~~~ So, that last tid bit is literally me trying to make an attempt to clue at something lol. In this story, each person has a song, and only they know it. Except their soulmate, who is the only person in the world to know the persons song. It might be a bit weird 'cause Peyton is the only character who's started as an angeree child lol This might have a sequel, idk I haven't decided.

In my spare time, i decided to edit as much as I could and began to write new chapters. Writing was a little hobby of mine, something that I didn't take seriously as I only wrote for fun. I definitely didn't think that my book would get this many readers!! Thank you to all of you who genuinely took time to read my book. I deeply apologise for keeping you all waiting, and left wondering if I was going ahead with this story or not. Sadly, to all of my readers who was looking forward to reading more of my story.
