"C minor carried melancholy as if she were the reaper herself. Her dark resonance lingered in the air like a shadow stretching at dusk. The notes pressed against the strings with hushed intensity. The low, brooding C string hummed with sorrow, while the higher tones carried a whisper of something unresolved—grief, longing, or maybe even the echo of a distant storm. When played softly, she felt like a secret confession. When drawn out with force, she wailed with a raw, aching beauty.
The violin was a woman. No one could tell me otherwise."
Piper Hermès, the youngest of the Hermès siblings, has spent her life carrying the weight of loss and longing. Now, on a journey to reclaim herself, she collides with a man who sees her with a clarity she's never known—a dangerous clarity. But in a world where darkness moves in shadows she barely understands, he is public enemy number one.
Told through a tapestry of lush prose and intimate poetry, Piper must navigate a labyrinth of love, betrayal, and loyalty — where every step closer to her heart's desire risks leading her further from everything she thought she could trust.
In the second installment of the Hermès Family series, the line between salvation and ruin is as fine—and as breakable—as a violin’s string.
Genre: Romance
