When enigmatic gallery owner Eury Thanasis invites her to tour a private collection, blind sculptor Cass Baird expects to gain an eccentric patron. Instead, she meets a woman who is larger than life: a figure from myth cursed to turn those she loves into stone. And she wants to commission a statue, carved without compromise. Cass should walk away. But Eury offers money, creative freedom, and something Cass hasn't felt in years: inspiration.
As Cass works, the line between artist and subject, truth and seduction, begins to blur. Touch becomes obsession. Stories intertwine as two women are bound by loss, secrets, and the idea of being cursed. When Eury finally reveals what lies beneath her silken headwrap, Cass must decide whether she is Eury's savior, her destroyer, or simply her next masterpiece.
