The Piano Only Plays at NightFor two hundred years, Lucien Ashcroft has hidden from the world.Once a celebrated pianist in nineteenth-century Vienna, he now exists in the shadows of an abandoned concert hall, playing for no one. The vampire who turned him vanished without explanation, leaving Lucien to navigate immortality alone-and to discover that the spotlight he once craved had become his greatest terror. Now he plays only in darkness, his music echoing through empty seats, beautiful and unheard.Nora Bell hasn't slept through the night in three years. Since a car accident rewired her brain to see danger everywhere, she's become a creature of the small hours-restless, exhausted, searching for something she can't name. When a sound design assignment leads her to a condemned theater at 3 AM, she expects to find silence. Instead, she discovers the most heartbreaking music she's ever heard.She should leave. She should forget.She goes back.What begins as an unlikely connection between two insomniacs-one human, one not-becomes something neither expected: a chance at healing. Nora's stubborn kindness chips away at Lucien's centuries of isolation. His music offers her the first peace she's known since the accident. But as they grow closer, Lucien faces an impossible choice: reveal the monster he believes himself to be, or lose the first person who's made him feel human in two hundred years.The Piano Only Plays at Night is a Gothic romance about the courage it takes to be truly seen. It's about trauma and recovery, isolation and connection, and the radical act of letting someone love the parts of yourself you've learned to hide. For fans of Interview with the Vampire and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, this is a story about two broken people finding wholeness in the most unlikely place-and proof that it's never too late to come back to life."Connection without risk is no connection at all."
