Magic. Music. Madness. Murder.

For as long as Selene remembers, she's only wanted one thing: to sing the boldest,
brightest magic into existence and win L'Opera du Magician. To the winner goes the
spoils of being declared King's Mage, a position her father held years ago, before he
lost control of his magic and spiraled into madness, leaving Selene an orphan.

But when the competition turns cutthroat and a competitor steals Selene's song, the
chance to redeem her father's legacy begins to slip through her fingers. Until, in the
depths of the opera house, she discovers a mysterious and beautiful man trapped
within a mirror. He offers not only the magic of music, but a darker sorcery of shadow,
blood, and want. He can help Selene if she helps him in return-but his forbidden
magic may not be worth the cost.

As the competition continues and mages are driven to ruin competing for the king's
favor, Selene must navigate betrayal, the return of childhood love, and the price of
ambition.
