LESUNG: Sinister Symphony - Whispers of Scandals, Band 1

Come join us for Marina Neumeier’s premiere reading on September 12, 2026, at your Hugendubel bookstore in Erding!

The first book in the “Whispers of Scandals” series tells the story of a forbidden love between two opera stars whose families have been divided for years by a devastating secret. Set against the glamorous backdrop of international opera houses, an emotionally charged “rivals-to-lovers” and “slow-burn” romance unfolds, full of suspense, intense emotions, and dangerous truths.

About the book:
He has the voice of an angel. Only she knows his dark side.
Icaro Palladino, son of the greatest opera singer of all time and himself an acclaimed darling of the opera world, is Aria’s personal nemesis. She’s certain that his father is the one who sent her to prison. But when she receives an offer to go on a joint European tour, she has to make a deal with the devil. Although Aria has been singing under a false name ever since the scandal involving her father, Icaro recognizes her immediately. His Giuletta. After fifteen years of being kept apart by the hatred between their families, a romance now ignites between them—one fueled by so much more than just hostility. And it could bring to light truths that have been hidden for good reason.
The Phantom of the Opera meets Romeo & Juliet meets Succession when Icaro Palladino and Aria Shaw cross paths.
