In a city where talent is currency and hunger is law, Jordan Mitchell is a rising artist determined to turn grit into greatness. When a slick corporate empire offers fame, money, and a way out, Jordan signs on—only to discover the price of success may be ownership of their own voice. Guided by old heads, haunted by cautionary tales, and pushed to the edge by an industry built to exploit brilliance, Jordan must decide what can be sold and what must be fought for. A Penny for Your Soul is a sharp, lyrical novel about art, identity, power, and the cost of being seen.
