Abner Wellington poured everything he had into his art.

His hopes. His dreams.

And above all else, his love for a woman named Lisie.

Up and coming artist Abner Wellington met Lisie at a party for wealthy patrons. Sponsors who could afford to buy the oversized artworks he created. Before long she became his lover and his muse. Then she became his reason for living.

Until the day she left.

What happens to an artist whose muse deserts him? Who puts his shattered heart on display for all to see? Can an artist ever recover from that?

Abner Wellington's about to find out.

"One of the best writers I've come across in years."
