Description

Nara Elise thought enrolling at the prestigious Asteria Acting Conservatory would be her chance to shine—but she didn’t expect her assigned acting partner to be undecided.

Her mentor, Ms. Seraphine Hale, couldn’t choose between the school’s two most talented students: Silas Vailon, the brilliant but cold prodigy, and Rowan Maren, warm, charming, and effortlessly approachable. Now, Nara must navigate rehearsals with both of them, each pushing her in different ways—and each capturing a piece of her heart.

Silas is disciplined, perfection-driven, and emotionally distant, while Rowan is encouraging, playful, and emotionally available. The two male leads quickly develop a subtle yet relentless rivalry for Nara’s attention—on stage, in rehearsals, and even off the clock—challenging her to explore her feelings, test her limits, and confront what she truly wants.

Between grueling performances, rival classmates competing for the spotlight, and a mentor who demands nothing less than raw honesty, Nara is forced to balance love, rivalry, and ambition, all while discovering that some performances aren’t scripted—and some emotions can’t be controlled.

Will she break through Silas’ icy walls? Will Rowan’s warmth show her a new path? Or will the tension between the two rivals become the greatest performance of all?
