After a year away from Blackwood, 18-year-old Wayne Richardson is back-and he's not thrilled about it. The halls haven't changed. The whispers haven't changed. But Wayne has. Grief has gutted him. His piano, once his whole world, now feels like a ghost he can't bury. And the only reason he's here? A promise to his father he swore he'd never forgive.
He thought he could coast through senior year under the radar-hang out with his best friends Rin and Eric, survive the chaos of his too-loud, too-perfect brothers, and avoid anything that reminds him of who he used to be.
Then he sees her.
Adora Hearst: ballet prodigy, violinist, and dangerously beautiful transfer student with a stare that cuts and a twin brother who doesn't take kindly to anyone looking too long. She's the kind of girl boys write songs about-but Wayne's never been great at playing nice with feelings.
Eric says she's off-limits. Wayne knows he should listen.
But grief has a way of pulling you toward the last thing that makes you feel anything at all.
Where prodigies collide, secrets unravel-and love strikes the wrong chord.

Since she was a child, she has lived her life carrying out orders without question. But now she has been sent to Lynchburg University, and has only one year to fulfill an order whose details are always revealed to her at the last minute. On top of that, she is given other orders, day and night. Her mother, her tormentor, is also omnipresent in her mind, constantly reminding her that she belongs to her, forcing her to live differently from others since she was born. Her painful and traumatic life has even affected the way she interacts with others. And then there is this mysterious scar on her windpipe, which she knows nothing about but hates above all else, just like the tattoos on her wrists, which are just as hidden. Despite everything, the moment she enters this ephemeral universe, she attracts attention. The attention of two men. One mysterious and detestable. The other bright and cheerful. But they will turn her life upside down. Will she be able to cope with the world she lives in and uncover the secrets of her past? Or will she continue to sink? Will she be able to silence that omnipresent voice in her head?Complete

The two must face an array of prejudices and misunderstandings that threaten to dissolve their bond. ***** Declan is an understated yet persistent young saxophonist, a recent immigrant from war-torn Candor and a newcomer to the Silverport music scene. He has little to boast of besides the clothes on his back, the saxophone in his hand, and a staunch determination to secure himself a niche on the bandstand to make a living healing souls with his art. Nonetheless, due to various adversities, he can't seem to be able to hold down a stable job, and mere perseverance won't keep food on the table. Meanwhile, Tahlia Paige enjoys a life of luxury among the upper classes of the city, her father being an accomplished military officer who receives generous helpings of the reparation funds pouring in from Candor.
