What if your soul could be stolen, one note at a time? Your soul has a sound. And someone is listening. In the near future, the science of Neuro-Sonancy has made the impossible real: every human life can be heard as a unique symphony, a breathtaking composition of every joy, trauma, and triumph. It was created to heal the wounded. It has become a weapon for the monstrous. A phantom known only as The Conductor moves through the city's digital shadows, a virtuoso of violation. They do not kill; they curate. With chilling precision, they hunt for the most beautiful souls and surgically excise their purest emotional notes-a chord of courage, a melody of first love, a triumphant crescendo of pride. These stolen moments become the masterpieces in a secret, soulless gallery. Kaelen Vance, the disgraced architect of this technology, lives in an analog fortress, haunted by the single, agonizing note of grief that killed his brother and shattered his life. He has silenced his genius, vowing to never again touch the music of the human soul. Lena Petrova, a fiercely defiant ballerina, dances to outrun the sound of her own lonely past. Unbeknownst to her, the symphony of her struggle and survival is a legend in the Conductor's hidden world-a masterpiece they will stop at nothing to acquire. When the Conductor targets Lena as the final, crowning jewel for their collection, Kae is ripped from his exile. The haunted composer and the brilliant dancer are thrown together into a desperate, dissonant duet. To survive, they must trust each other with their deepest scars before a predator who can hear their every wound silences them forever. To stop a monster who weaponizes beauty, they must discover that the ugliest, most painful notes of their past might be their only hope for a future. The Symphony of Scars is a stunning, cinematic speculative thriller that combines the mind-bending suspense of Blake Crouch's Dark Matter with the heart-wrenching emotional depth of Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. A genre-bending masterpiece about love, loss, and the music we make from our imperfections. This is a book that will haunt you. It will make you cry. And it will change the way you think about memory, music, and what it truly means to be human.
