Here’s what I know about Stone Zeeland:

• He’s a legendary god of guitar.
• He’s infamously bad-tempered and hates everyone.
• He especially hates journalists—which means he hates me.

I refuse to let this be a problem. I have a job to do—write about the Road Kings’ reunion tour—and I’m going to do it. I don’t care that I’m stuck crossing the country with a band that won’t talk to me or that everyone wants me to quit. This is my big break, and I’m going to take it.

But before long, Stone and I have a secret. When you’re on tour with a rock god, it’s hard to stay objective. And the more I learn about Stone, the more I see he’s nothing like I thought he’d be.

Here’s what I know about Stone Zeeland: Deep down, he has a heart. And he’s about to break mine.
