Eli Woo burned his life down to save her.
After escaping the haunted Thorn Street house and torching his multi-million dollar record contract, Midnight Eden frontman Eli Woo and his fiercely protective lover, Lena, have fled to an isolated, decaying house on the desolate California coast. They are seeking refuge, but they find none.
The haunted melody didn't just stay behind-it followed them.
As Eli sinks into a manic obsession with completing the final, cursed song, the peace they craved curdles into suffocating paranoia. Their new sanctuary is infiltrated by the sonic haunting, manifesting as chilling whispers on the phone and decay in the walls, hinting that the entity knows Lena's name and is drawing closer.
Simultaneously, the ruthless music industry and Eli's vengeful manager, Tessa, launch a scorched-earth campaign to destroy him professionally and financially. The attack centers on Lena, publicly crucifying her as the "older muse" who ruined Eli. Isolated and under siege, Lena must battle the cruel voices of the internet that echo her deepest self-doubts, while Eli risks losing his sanity-and her-to the devastating demands of the Melody of Ruin.
They ran from one ruin only to find themselves trapped in another, where the final, unspoken silence may be the only thing powerful enough to consume them both.
