About this book
Rabbit Trace is a gifted musician carrying a buried trauma. Since a frightening event the year before, every performance brings crushing panic, made worse by the pressure of his celebrated mother’s expectations. He survives by sticking to a careful routine and refusing to face the memory his mind has locked away.
Baikal Void, heir to the Vitality Brumal Mafia, is facing a swift rise to power as his father declines. Unsettled by grief and by his own volatile impulses, he becomes fixated on Rabbit after seeing him at a university recital. What begins as obsession quickly turns coercive when Baikal uses damaging information about Rabbit’s mother to force his way into Rabbit’s life.
As Rabbit resists Baikal’s relentless pursuit, their bond grows darker and more tangled. Baikal offers an escape from the future Rabbit feels trapped in, but only at a devastating cost: total surrender to a man who is used to taking what he wants.
