Full of passion, torment, and chilling beauty, and seemingly unkwn to the world, the waltz, its mournful mir key, its feverish arpeggios, appear to dance with a strange life of their own. Julia is determined to master the complex work and make its melody heard. Back home in Boston, from the moment Julia s bow moves across the strings, drawing the waltz s fiery tes into the air, something strange is stirred and Julia s world comes under threat.

Her quest beckons Julia to the ancient city of Venice, where she uncovers a dark, decades-old secret involving a dangerously powerful family that will stop at thing to keep Julia from bringing the truth to light.
