Through the Glory and The Mess: Special Edition: Music. Fame. Power. Trauma. And a love that refuses to die quietly.

A love story too messy for the charts. He’s her muse. She’s his melody. But fame keeps breaking the song.

Emma Hartgrave is the fire and fury behind The Hartgrave Tellers—a band born of heartbreak and harmony. Alongside brooding guitarist Liam Teller, her mute but musically brilliant sister Susie, Liam’s reckless brother Dan, golden-hearted drummer Max, and genre-bending violinist/harpist Salima, Emma has risen to global platinum records, sold-out tours, and a fanbase obsessed with her slow-burning tension with Liam. But when Emma ends things with her A-list ex, he strikes back with a viral podcast that tears apart her image.

Overnight, she’s not a rock icon—she’s a headline. A body. A scandal. A warning. The only person who’s ever stood between Emma and collapse? Liam Teller. After years of silence, sacrifice, and swallowing his feelings, Liam is done pretending. He’s done playing the reckless rockstar when his heart has always belonged to one woman. And when one explosive afterparty puts Emma’s past, present, and future on a collision course, she’s left with a brutal Implode. Or set fire to everything—and rise from the ashes on her own terms.

Told in dual POV, Through the Glory and the Mess is a raw, addictive rockstar romance about fame, betrayal, and the messy, magnetic love that refuses to let you drown while you learn to save yourself.
