Synopsis

Theo arrives at Saint George Royal Academy as a commoner musician with one deep motivation: to fulfill the last wishes of his mother, who lies in a coma. Under his reserved surface burns a resentment toward the nobility, born of a medical tragedy they covered up. He guards himself fiercely, both emotionally and by protecting the hands he plays with, and refuses to bow to the hierarchy that rules the academy.

Nicholas, the crown prince and the academy's real ruler, takes Theo's resistance as an insult to the total obedience he demands from everyone. His cold campaign to crush Theo's defiance takes an unexpected turn when he watches him perform on stage and sees his playing become something ethereal and haunting. That moment changes everything for Nicholas, turning his need to conquer into a consuming obsession to make Theo his.

Things get more complicated when Sebastian, another powerful noble from the academy's elite circle, recognizes Theo's rare artistry and pursues him with calculated charm. The triangle of desire and dominance turns the academy into a battlefield of hidden power, envy and dangerous attraction. When Colin, a desperate classmate scarred by class persecution, has Theo kidnapped and threatens to destroy his hands, Nicholas drops his royal mask completely to save him, revealing how much he has changed.
