Sung in the Shadows

About this book

When past darkness prowls, will stepping into the light lead to a brighter future? In nineteenth-century Cincinnati, fear keeps Nora Davis caged with secrets and lies. Her true identity as the daughter of a famous opera singer is too dangerous to reveal with her former captors still on the loose. But weekly singing lessons at Longview Asylum--her paranoid mother's permanent residence--light a flame in Nora, and it's one she can avoid fanning for only so long. With his suicidal ma in the asylum, Ezekiel Beaumont's soul is weary, but Nora's presence at the asylum intrigues him. As a Pike's Opera House employee, Ezekiel thinks Nora might be cut out for the stage. He also begins to wonder if Nora's ma is really the famed Constanza Brisbane, who went missing mid-performance. He's determined to find out. Though Ezekiel brings the performance world a little too close for comfort, Nora is drawn to his warm personality all the same. The two of them steadily grow closer, but then Nora begins to fear she's being watched, and her own paranoia blooms. As the line between what's real and false grows fainter, will Ezekiel's and Nora's faith and love overcome? "From the haunting halls of Longview Asylum to the dangerous secrets of Nora's past, Sung in the Shadows delivers a riveting blend of romance, mystery, and redemption." --Misty M.
