Synopsis

Veronique Dunn has lived on the streets of Londo City since she was eight years old—an orphan in constant danger of being arrested. Three days before her eighteenth birthday, she sees an audition announcement for a new Citizen Symphony. This is her big chance. She might be a rag-tag street rat, but she can play the piano like an angel. And in three days, she will be able to step out of the shadows.
But staying out of trouble for three days is a real challenge. Her mentor is murdered. She discovers an agent of the Overseers is looking for her. Then thugs accost her, and mysterious Roman Brandt intervenes. He opens his opulent home to her, but forbids her to audition. The audition could be a trap.
Veronique must decide what to do. Give up her dream? Or remain in the only real home she has ever known, with a man who might be the biggest threat of all.
Her heart says stay. Her head says run...

However, eventually it did pick u......more
