The Red Masque

Ethan and Lyra Rivera were once a loving couple. Lyra is a celebrated soprano and Ethan a musician in her band. These young lovers who were only recently married have been hit by the worst tragedy they can imagine, the death of their beloved three-year-old son Mateo.
After eighteen months of mourning Ethan feels that it is time to put the grief behind them and to move on. He sees this as vital to their survival as a couple and for their livelihood as musicians. He realises that they must return to their old life as performers on the stage. Ethan is becoming increasingly frustrated with Lyra because she just does not seem to be able to let go of her overwhelming sorrow.
A fateful encounter with the mysterious and hypnotic Count Raoul Mascalzoni at the Masquerade Ball will change everything. Will this ominous encounter really help Lyra to recover from her melancholia or are other ominous and inauspicious forces at play here.
