Description

A weather‑beaten stucco house, once a royal hunting lodge, looms over a wind‑swept garden in an Austrian city. Inside, the great chandelier hangs like a stalactite, its candles guttering against the draft that rattles the heavy gate and creaking windows. A young piano student, Scatchett, and a melancholic girl in black move among the sparse furnishings, their trembling fingers coaxing a forgotten concerto from a dusty grand piano while the night presses in.

The atmosphere is thick with unspoken histories: trunks tucked in a shadowy corner, a half‑drunk cup of strange coffee, and the faint echo of an empress’s legend. Harmony Wells, a dedicated musician, spends long, cold evenings practicing scales, her resolve tested by lingering grief and a sense that something vital has been hidden away. As the candlelight flickers, the house seems to whisper of secrets yet to be uncovered, inviting listeners to step into a world where music and mystery intertwine.
