After nearly two centuries trapped inside a mirror, Bastian Delacroix is finally building a life of his own. He has students, a place in a prestigious Montreal ensemble, and an unexpected connection with Geneviève Leduc, a ballerina who hears the choices hidden inside his music.

Then an anonymous eighteenth-century score arrives at Mara’s museum.

Its pages contain more than music. They hold instructions for calling a dying person back—living blood, bound earth, a witness, and a song that must stop long enough for the dying to answer.

But someone has removed the warning.

As a brilliant conductor becomes determined to use the score to save her terminally ill wife, Bastian, Mara, Ronan, Simon, and Mat must uncover the ritual’s true history before grief turns love into possession.

Because a song can call the dead.
It cannot choose what answers.
