Five years ago, fifteen-year-old Octavia lost her beloved older sister, a talented violinist, under uncertain circumstances. Now, unwilling to accept her sister's fate, a chance encounter with a strange dream, a violin she'd long thought lost, and a young flutist with inexplicable abilities thrusts her headfirst into the mystical world of Maestros--musicians with incredible powers. In tandem with her newfound knowledgeable companion, Viola, their goals are twofold and mutual: uncover the truth behind the disappearance of Octavia's sister and eradicate the agony-born forces of Dissonance that silently plague the world unseen.
Their trials require helping hands, whom they discover in ways more than unusual--Madrigal, a beacon of hospitality with a heroine complex; Harper, an orphan with a devotion to kindness and protecting others; and Renato, a rebellious thrill-seeker who seems to adore trouble. Together, their eccentric team must work together to delve into the depths of the Maestro world, one step at a time. Things are not always what they seem, however, and the consequences of their unique skills quickly catch up with Octavia and her companions.
For better or worse, their encounters lead them to cities concealing dark secrets, a cultural institution harboring more than meets the eye, and fleeting meetings with the ambiguous restoration aficionado, Alessandro Drey. As her newfound powers blossom and her Maestro world widens, Octavia may not always enjoy the truths she uncovers--or the heinous decisions she's forced to make.
