In the chilling shadows of Snickner Hall, the story sets its profound roots on a bleak November afternoon, where young Elizabeth 'Betty' Phillips St. John lies dying on her birth bed, leaving a grieving husband and son behind.

Story
They call me a slut. Maybe I am. Sometimes I do things I despise. Sometimes men take without asking. But I have a musical gift, only a year left of high school, and a plan. With one obstacle. Emeric Marceaux doesn’t just take. He seizes my will power and bangs it like a dark note. When he commands me to play, I want to give him everything. I kneel for his punishments, tremble for his touch, and risk it all for our stolen moments.
