First, she loses her mother. Then her father. Then she loses the last freedom she has left.
Eleanor has spent ten years behind the walls of an abbey, raised under the iron rule of a Mother Superior who will never let her leave.
The reason is her voice. In a world where a creeping grey mist has swallowed the seasons and left the earth barren,
Eleanor's songs are the only thing that can coax life from dead soil, and the only thing standing between the abbey and starvation.
But Eleanor was never meant to spend her life behind stone. She has never stopped believing in the father who promised, ten years ago,
to return for her, and she has never stopped longing for a life of her own choosing.
When her heart is broken in the cruelest way, she finally finds the courage to run, to leave the only home she has ever known
and go searching for the truth.
What she finds is a world far stranger and more dangerous than she imagined, and a calling far larger than herself.
For the first time, Eleanor begins to glimpse what her gift can truly do, a power far greater than she ever realized.
But power means nothing without the courage to claim it, and if her self-doubt wins, everyone she loves will pay the price.
Just as scattered notes must connect to make a melody, Eleanor must find the harmony within herself before her world falls silent forever.
