Giulia Vitale was the prima donna of the opera, A Love Unrequited. When the diva fell in love on the eve of Epiphany, life imitated the art of unrequited love. Enamored of the voice of another, she forgot the sound of her own. The one that serenaded her also betrayed her; sabotaging Giulia’s career and closing the opera. Hiding from her shame, she wandered from lover to lover, life to life, masquerading in the guise of others. Eventually, she became her mask, and her face fell into shadow… until her descendant, Gwendolyn Faye, would take her place on the stage.

Haunted by the legacy of her lineage, Gwen struggles to match her grandmother’s resonance. She finds solace from this familial burden in the arms of the mysterious Isaac Sylvain. Reminded of her ancestor’s failed romance, she resists his charms to focus on her impending debut. But Isaac is not so easily swayed. Though Gwen does not reciprocate Isaac’s love, she cannot ignore his influence, which threatens to derail the opera. Like Giulia before her, Gwen must rise to the occasion and reclaim her ancestral voice, or fall victim to A Love Unrequited.
