Seraph Black is a young girl living a difficult life, trying to protect her brother from their abusive father while remaining invisible at home and school. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when two new guys, Cabe and Noah, show up at school and take an interest in her. Along with two other mysterious men, Miro and Silas, Seraph finds herself surrounded by a group of individuals who seem to care for her deeply. As she navigates this newfound attention, she also has to deal with a stalker threatening her and uncovering special abilities within herself.
The book is described as a slow burn with a mix of high school drama, mysterious characters, and a developing plot that keeps readers engaged. Seraph's journey of self-discovery, uncovering hidden truths, and navigating complex relationships forms the core of the story, leading to unexpected twists and turns towards the end.

Has Romance?
While there are romantic elements in Charcoal Tears, they are nuanced and complicated due to elements of distrust and character dynamics.
From The Publisher:
"You see, there is safety in simplicity… in a life of simple peace, where the electricity doesn't dance across the backs of my eyelids, and the sparks don't slither over my consciousness. Only asinine peace, where my paintings don't seem to paint themselves, leaving me with terrible feelings of premonition and a chill beneath my fingernails."
Seraph Black doesn't care that she's different, because she's too busy trying to to make it from one day to another, guided by a simple set of rules: survive her father, protect her brother, put food on the table, and remain invisible.
A life of simple survival should have been easy, and it almost was, until Noah, Cabe, Silas and Miro bulldoze their way into her life, turning it upside down and setting fire to the remains.
The problem was, they weren't the only people suddenly trying to take over.
A mysterious stalker had begun to send her creepy messages, and he was making it clear that there were no limits to how far he would go if Seraph didn't comply with his demands.
The problem? It wasn't possible to give him what he wanted, because she had a feeling that in the end, what he really wanted was her.
