Everyone at Eastwood High knows Amelia Hart.
Student council president. Honor student. The girl who always smiles, always helps, and somehow belongs everywhere.
No one knows Kieran Vale.
He sits in the back of class, wears black hoodies, keeps his head down, and barely speaks. To everyone else, he's just the quiet new kid.
But at night, he becomes someone entirely different.
Under the name NOCTIS, Kieran is a masked underground rapper whose music is taking the internet by storm. His concerts are packed, his songs are everywhere, and thousands of people are desperate to uncover the face behind the mask.
Amelia doesn't know any of that.
She only knows that one night she followed a friend to an underground concert and listened to a stranger perform under red lights and a black mask.
And from the stage, he saw her.
Because while everyone else had their phones in the air, recording every second, she simply listened.
From that moment on, the mysterious artist can't stop noticing the girl who never noticed him first.
As secrets grow, feelings deepen, and the world gets closer to discovering who NOCTIS really is, Kieran must decide if protecting his identity is worth losing the only person who ever saw him for more than the mask.
Some love stories begin with a first glance.
Theirs begins with a song.
