Music has always been at the heart of this story.

Porcelain & Ruin isn’t just about love, obsession, and survival. It’s about the way music can say everything you’re too broken, too angry, or too afraid to put into words. For Luka Vale, music is the only place he can exist without falling apart. For Wren, it’s a reminder of everything she tried to leave behind and everything she can’t escape.

This playlist helped shape scenes, emotions, and the pulse of the story itself.

Some tracks defined Luka’s rage.

Some captured Wren’s guarded heart.

Some feel like the moment everything starts to unravel.

If you want to experience the atmosphere of Porcelain & Ruin the way it lived in my head while writing it, this is where to begin.

Whether you press play while reading, driving, or lying awake at 2 a.m. thinking about fictional characters (no judgment, I do it too), I hope these songs pull you deeper into their world.

Welcome to the sound of ruin.
