Dahlia Talbot has the unique ability to hear music in her mind based on people, animals, places, and emotions. Dahlia’s voice and musical genius have an extraordinary impact on the people she meets, from inspiring adoration to fueling envy and obsession.

Her genius embroils her in a tangle of deception involving both those who love her and those who seek to exploit her. Dahlia’s world is transformed by a brutal physical attack that silences her music. With no memory of the attack, she tries to cope without her musical intuition. She is further confused by her own wedding she can’t remember and challenged by her new life in a run-down Scottish castle. Only a few people there know the truth about the enigmatic young outlander, and they must be creative to maintain the lies that shield Dahlia from the painful truth.A local storyteller becomes intrigued with her tale, and starts to write a serial based on Dahlia that is published in the London papers. Equal parts truth and fiction, the story becomes a sensation in a society bent on romance. It isn’t long before similarities between Dahlia and the character in the serial are noted. Coincidence and fate figure equally as Dahlia regains her memory and learns the truth – of her own situation and about her mother’s mysterious death years before. The truth will push Dahlia to the edge of desperation before the real meaning of love allows Dahlia’s music to complete her once again. Views: 29
