A borrowed heart. A fading sight. A love neither of them saw coming.
Sam Novak is the drummer of Arcadian Dreams, currently halfway through a European tour—famous, restless, and haunted by the story he can’t stop writing.
Between shows, he’s creating Devotion’s End: a graphic novel steeped in ritual, obsession, and the kind of love that refuses to die.
The only person who truly understands it is the anonymous artist illustrating every page like confession.
The artist’s name is Lachrym.
When Sam invites Lachrym onto tour, he expects a simple collaboration.
He doesn’t expect recognition.
Because Lachrym isn’t a stranger at all…
She is Briar—the girl from the pediatric ward years ago, the one who made the worst year of his life survivable.
Now, surrounded by stage lights, memory, and a story that keeps bleeding into reality, Sam and Briar are stitched back together in a romance that was never loud…
only inevitable.
A slow-burn gothic rockstar romance about devotion, survival, and the love that returns.
