Short
Blurb for TRANSCEND
All
seventeen-year-old composer Ien Montgomery desires is an escape from
his family's rigid expectations for his life; someone to inspire his
music. When he meets a beautiful violin-prodigy, Kiera McDougal, his
life music takes on new life. With her, he imagines a future outside
of his parents’ control. That is, until a horrible accident tears
them apart.
Sent to die in a sanatorium, Ien’s obsession for Kiera grows unbearable. Tortured by thoughts he can’t escape and the truth of his monstrous disfigurement, he flees, desperate to exact revenge on the people that ruined his life – his parents. But, vengeance is empty. Betrayed by those closest to him, Ien discovers that the price for his happiness may be his sanity.
Set amidst the landscape of New York's Gilded Age, and inspired by Phantom of the Opera, TRANSCEND exposes the fine line between love and madness.

Praise
for Transcend:
“So
powerful, so deep, and dark. It took me on an amazing journey into
places most people fear to go...leaving me breathless.”
~Heather
McCorkle, Author of To Ride A Puca
“…hauntingly
dark and achingly beautiful. A story of love, loss and obsession set
against the decadent backdrop of historic New York that sucked me in
and wouldn't let go, from the first page until long after I'd
finished.”
~
Michelle McLean, Author of Treasured Lies (Entangled, 2012)
“ The
story is disturbing and intense and utterly unique…”
~
Ali Cross, Author of Become
“…thought-provoking
and emotionally heart wrenching. I haven’t felt this way after
reading in quite a while!”
~
Jen from Geekygamergal's
Musings
“It
is such a powerful and deep story; it will leave you completely
breathless.”
~

LOVE the cover, and the story itself if very intriguing- love the themes of revenge and redemption, and I think this would be up my alley.
