Power. Love. Only one can rule her heart.
Arabessa Bassette is the unrivaled leader of the Mousai—three deadly sorceresses serving the secretive Thief Kingdom. With her magic wielded like a conductor’s baton, she commands both fear and awe. But beneath her flawless control lies a longing she’s denied for years: Zimri D’Enieu, her childhood love and her father’s most loyal weapon.
When Arabessa is forced into a brutal competition for the Thief King’s throne, the stakes become heartbreakingly clear: her ambition or her love.
As betrayal simmers and the kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos, Arabessa must decide whether claiming the crown is worth losing everything.
In a world where symphonies kill and desire can destroy, the final note has yet to be played.
Will she dare to strike it?
