The Porcelain Girl - Coming June 13th
Songs To Stories Volume X
Inspired by: I Can Do It With A Broken Heart by Taylor Swift
She’s the biggest star in the world. Adored. Worshipped. Immortalized in lights, headlines, hashtags. Every lyric she sings becomes gospel, every move she makes dissected, devoured, and demanded again. She gives her fans everything—her heart, her time, her story, her soul. And they want more. Always more.
After a record-breaking global tour and a string of chart-topping albums, Arden Quinn should be on top of the world. But behind the flawless smile and glittering stage lights, something in her body is beginning to unravel. It starts small—veins standing out too prominently in her legs, a faint blue tint in her skin. Easily explained away. Easily hidden.
Until one night, during a televised concert viewed by millions, she sees it—deep, cracked lines crawling across her arms like fractures in fine porcelain. Wrinkles, she tells herself. Stress. A trick of the light. But the mirror doesn’t lie.
Doctor after doctor dismisses her symptoms. Stress. Exhaustion. A cosmetic issue, easily remedied. But when she meets a brilliant yet discredited specialist in a back alley clinic, the truth comes to light—she’s being drained. Not metaphorically. Literally. Every performance, every ounce of love she gives her audience is siphoning her life force, leeching her vitality until there is nothing left.
Told in stunning, cinematic prose, Porcelain is a dark, intimate exploration of fame, perfection, and the price of performance. It’s the story of a woman who can no longer tell where her public persona ends and her private suffering begins. And it asks a harrowing question: What happens when you’ve given the world everything, and it still isn’t enough?
Fans think they know Arden Quinn.
But no one sees what happens when the music stops.
