On her first day at a new school, Lily befriends one of the daughters of infamous avant-garde painter Evan Trentham.

An only child accustomed to loneliness, Lily soon becomes infatuated with the creative chaos of the Trenthams and aches to fully belong. Despite the Trenthams' glamorous allure, the artists' real lives are shaped by dire Faustian bargains and spectacular falls from grace. As the girls find themselves drawn closer to the white-hot flame of creativity, emotions and art collide... Fiction / Literary, Fiction / Coming Of Age
