Long ago, five noble families wielded powers beyond ordinary humans, each linked to a distinct gift—the eyes that foresaw, the ears that revealed hidden truths, the hands of healing, the nose that erased all traces of one's scent, and the lips that brought words to life. Among them, the Rumore family’s power over words placed them as counselors to the throne, their whispers shaping kingdoms, sealing fates, and silencing secrets.

But the truth cannot remain hidden forever, not when the threads of fate and love pull two destined souls together. Not when Arella Rumore uncovers a hidden portrait of a mysterious boy—one whose gaze seems to reach into her very soul. Not when he seems so familiar, as if she's known him forever.

This is the story of a girl whose heart defied fate and loved a boy she couldn't have. This is the story of a boy, a painting who fell in love with a human girl.
