Would you read my book! Read Description!

A haunted stage, A cursed love, and the man who damned them all in the name of greatness.

Decades ago, theater founder Edmund Varrick, sought immortality through art. In a desperate bid for legacy, he bound his soul to the Starling Theater, splintering it into cursed vessels and caging the souls of those who served him.

Reeve was his first victim. Lillian, the brightest star of the stage, his greatest mistake.

Their forbidden love defied the theater’s rules, and their punishment became legend.

Now, in the remains of the theater, Eveline is drawn into their unfinished story. As past and present blur, she uncovers the truth of the curse, and the dangerous echoes of a love that still haunts the wings.

But the theaters influence runs deeper than she knows and the theater is always looking for its next act. Eveline came searching for truth, but some stories don’t want to be solved. They want to be lived again.
