My ex-best friend—my tormentor, the man who twisted my lyrics into weapons—is gone.
Vanished without a trace.
I should be relieved, but I’m not. There’s a gaping void where he used to be.
We’ve searched everywhere, but he’s truly disappeared. The label doesn’t care. They want the show to go on—at any cost.
Enter Mr. Lexington, ready with a new replacement for Tristan. But I know better. There’s nothing he won’t do to keep me under his thumb, including planting a spy to sabotage me.
Now the world thinks I’m in a relationship with the guy—Lexington’s perfect little puppet—and unless I want my reputation ruined even further, I have to play along.
The only thing holding me together is my bandmates, but how long before they tire of watching another man take their place in the public eye?
I’m determined to come out of this stronger than ever. But these riffs might just be my downfall.
