A Father's Vengeance: For Rosie's Voice

Elias Thorne, a Harmony Keeper, sacrificed seven years to shield his wife Izzy from a deadly family curse, binding him to a loveless New Orleans marriage.

His profound baritone, meant for healing, now merely scored Izzy' s decadent affairs, a bitter backdrop to her ungrateful life.

But Julian Vance, Izzy' s obsessive jazz musician lover, craved an "ultimate essence" for his saxophone.

With a dark sorceress's aid, they targeted Rosie's angelic voice.
