About this title

Synopsis

Lilliet Berne is a sensation of the Paris Opera, a legendary soprano with every accolade except an original role, every singer's chance at immortality. When one is finally offered to her, she realizes with alarm that the libretto is based on a hidden piece of her past. Only four could have betrayed her: one is dead, one loves her, one wants to own her. And one, she hopes, never thinks of her at all. As she looks for clues, she recalls her life as an orphan who went to Europe and was swept into the world of Second Empire Paris. The Queen of the Night follows Lilliet as she gets closer to the truth behind the mysterious opera and the role that could secure her reputation -- or destroy her with the secrets it reveals.
