Kestrel House, a gothic mansion perched on the windswept Maine coast, whispers of genius and madness. Within its decaying walls echoes the unfinished symphony of Elias Thorne, a melody both beautiful and terrifying, a legacy of obsession and despair. Twelve voices, spanning generations, rise from the shadows, each a fragment of a shattered choir, each entangled in Thorne's haunting composition.

Elias, the tormented composer, chronicles his descent into madness in feverish diary entries. His symphony isn't just music; it's a conduit, a vessel for his darkest emotions, a curse woven into the very fabric of Kestrel House. Decades later, Daniel Hayes, a thief seeking redemption, hears the symphony's siren call, convinced it holds the key to his absolution. He hides within the mansion’s desolate halls, his recorded confessions echoing Elias's descent into obsession.

Clara Vance, a spectral presence tethered to the house, whispers of a love betrayed and a melody that became her cage. Her fragmented memories drift through the narrative like a mournful lament, a chilling counterpoint to the stories of the living. Blake Berry, a musicologist driven by insatiable curiosity, arrives at Kestrel House seeking answers in the unfinished score, only to find himself ensnared in its dark allure.

Their paths intertwine with a cast of others drawn to Kestrel House: a historian uncovering forbidden love, a skeptical journalist confronting the supernatural, an elderly woman haunted by childhood memories, a reclusive artist mirroring Elias’s descent, a psychic sensing the house's spectral energy, and a descendant grappling with inherited guilt.

Their stories unfold in a fragmented, non-linear narrative, echoing the broken symphony itself. Diary entries merge with recorded confessions, whispered memories intertwine with present-day investigations, as past and present collide within Kestrel House’s haunted walls. As the symphony's true nature is revealed, the characters become increasingly entangled, their fates mirroring the composer’s tragic descent. The climax arrives during a raging storm, a tempestuous reflection of the house’s inner turmoil, where obsession, redemption, and spectral vengeance collide.

Enter Kestrel House and unravel the symphony's secrets, if you dare. But be warned: some melodies haunt us forever.
