About this ebook
Six weeks before the Orpheum Theatre's centennial gala, Sylvie March is handed the artifact inventory in name but not in authority, with the promise of curatorial credit if she can make the exhibit donor-ready. When a missing balcony medallion connects a crate of plaster fragments to a dangerous crack in the theater's old limestone work, she finds an unlikely ally in Bram Kessler, the stonemason hired to stabilize the building before inspection. Bram has little patience for donors who want pretty shortcuts, and Sylvie is tired of being asked to smooth over inconvenient truths. As they trace the medallion to an overlooked woman sculptor and fight pressure to install a false replica, their repair plan becomes more than preservation work: it is a test of credit, trust, and whether either of them can stay visible when past mistakes and public scrutiny close in. With the gala deadline approaching, Sylvie and Bram must decide what deserves to be restored, what should remain visibly changed, and whether the future they are building can survive after the theater doors reopen.
