The world's darkest desires play on repeat. And she's the only one who can hear them. Cassia Bellweather's "tone-deafness" at elite Aethelgard Conservatory hides a terrifying gift: she hears the dissonance beneath reality. A thrum of corrupt emotions. A melody of envy that leaves phantom moth wings on her skin. When a woman with emerald eyes starts conducting it, twisting students into rivals and predators, Cassia digs into a century of vanished musicians. But the deeper she listens, the clearer it becomes: She's not just hearing the music. It's tuning her.
