Velvet and Verdigris

When celebrated violinist Veronika is lured into a secretive society that trades love affairs for art, she discovers a cursed copper‑bellied cello and a living portrait that feeds on intimacy. To resurrect her vanished sister she must barter her own heart in a forbidden duet, spiraling through a cascade of erotic encounters that threaten to consume both her soul and the very music she creates.
