After the gothic shadows of Nevermore, Hazel Woods arrives at Juilliard to find that New York is anything but quiet. Surrounded by the loud hussling streets Hazel struggles to find her rhythm in a city that feels deafeningly silent.
While her best friends, Enid and Wednesday, flourish in their own new lives, Hazel finds herself in a sea of normies competition. Her new roommate, Maya, a chaotic violinist is determined to drag Hazel out of her lonely orphan aesthetic and into the neon lights of the city. But behind the routines of 5:00 AM runs, Pilates, and newfound dance classes, a primal force is waiting.
As the first full moon in the city approaches, Hazel realises she's forgotten the most dangerous part of her nature. Without the reinforced stone walls of Ophelia Hall to protect her, she must navigate the predatory streets of NY to find a hidden sanctuary for Outcasts.
Guided by a mysterious new mentor and tethered to the past by Isadora Capri's influence, Hazel must learn to blend the wolf with the artist. In a city that never sleeps, Hazel is about to find out if her music is loud enough to be heard or if the silence of New York will finally swallow her whole.
