Overview

Thirty-year-old Stefanosa Scardino is a renowned violinist. Having garnered the attention of the Juilliard School of Music at the age of sixteen, she attended tuition-free, then quickly rose to prominence and attained a position in the New York Philharmonic. Some would say that she has led a charmed life – but nothing could be further from the truth. She started seeing strange shadows and hearing inexplicable voices when she was thirteen. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, she was prescribed a heavy dosage of risperidone – keeping the voices and the visions at bay, but also turning her into a perpetual zombie devoid of energy or emotion. Her existence is lonely and empty. Until the night she meets Blanca Perez. Forty-five-year-old Blanca owns the Majestic Hotel with her husband Diego; but she feels trapped in her marriage and wishes she could be free. After a chance encounter with the beautiful older woman, Stef falls head over heels. But it seems that her good fortune is to be short-lived . . . It all starts with a man wearing a pink feather boa who claims to be an angel. Well, actually, it starts with a demon named Abaddon – but it doesn’t really matter where it started. The only thing that matters is: Stef may not be who she always thought she was, and Blanca’s life could be in danger. It’s a supernatural riddle with no clear answer. All Stef knows is that she’ll do anything to keep Blanca away from death’s door. Anything. Note: This book contains explicit sex and violence. It is intended for mature audiences only.
