Who said battling vampires, witches, and all things that go bump in the night is the most challenging part of life? Try balancing calculus homework, lunchroom politics, impossible expectations, and the emotional chaos of being sixteen.

​

Meet Priscilla “Pepper” Piper a loud, fearless, guitar-shredding teen with a sharp tongue, an even sharper sense of justice, and a style as rebellious as the music she lives by. Embracing her goth punk identity, Pepper storms through life with ripped sleeves, heavy riffs, and an attitude that says, “I slay monsters and algebra equations with equal flair.”

​

But behind the confidence and electric personality is a girl carrying more than most people ever see. Haunted by the loss of her mother and determined to make something of herself, Pepper dreams of becoming one of the greatest guitarists the world has ever known. New York City represents everything she wants—freedom, opportunity, music, and a chance to finally outrun the pain she’s carried for years.

​

What she doesn’t realize is that destiny has already chosen her.
