Synopsis:
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.”
~ Brooke from The Cover
