About the Book
When past darkness prowls, will stepping into the light lead to a brighter future?
In nineteenth-century Cincinnati, fear keeps Nora Davis caged with secrets and lies. Her true identity as the daughter of a famous opera singer is too dangerous to reveal with her former captors still on the loose. But weekly singing lessons at Longview Asylum—her paranoid mother's permanent residence—light a flame in Nora, and it's one she can avoid fanning for only so long.
With his suicidal ma in the asylum, Ezekiel Beaumont's soul is weary, but Nora's presence at the asylum intrigues him. As a Pike's Opera House employee, Ezekiel thinks Nora might be cut out for the stage. He also begins to wonder if Nora's ma is really the famed Constanza Brisbane, who went missing mid-performance. He's determined to find out.
Though Ezekiel brings the performance world a little too close for comfort, Nora is drawn to his warm personality all the same. The two of them steadily grow closer, but then Nora begins to fear she's being watched, and her own paranoia blooms.
As the line between what's real and false grows fainter, will Ezekiel's and Nora's faith and love overcome?
"From the haunting halls of Longview Asylum to the dangerous secrets of Nora's past, Sung in the Shadows delivers a riveting blend of romance, mystery, and redemption." —Misty M. Beller, USA TODAY best-selling author of the Sisters of the Rockies series

Sung in the Shadows is a gripping tale of love and revenge worthy of a standing ovation! With echoes of the classic film Gaslight, this historical romance blends a found sisterhood, heartrending emotion, page-turning suspense, and a backstage glimpse into the world of opera during the Gilded Age. Fans of The Lost Melody by Joanna Davidson Politano will appreciate the story’s thoughtful mental illness representation, depiction of a nineteenth-century asylum, and poignant spiritual themes. If you’re in the mood for a novel teeming with drama, danger, and depth, reserve your front row seat for Sung in the Shadows!
A historical romance by turns witty, charming, heart-pumping, and sigh-worthy, Sung in the Shadows takes readers into the world of the opera with family drama and a dangerous enemy. I found myself chuckling one moment and wanting to shout a warning the next. I’m eagerly awaiting the next installment to see what the Guardians find themselves engaged in next!
From the first note to the final crescendo, Cystal Caudill’s latest Gilded Age suspense will captivate readers with its stunning blend of intricately drawn characters, elegant prose, and romantic tension. Set against a backdrop of resplendent opera houses and the shadowed halls of an asylum, Sung in the Shadows sings with atmosphere and emotional depth, reminding readers that redemption can be found even in the darkest places.
Twists, turns, love, deception, faith, and redemption—they are all there in Sung in the Shadows. I was hooked from the first notes. To capture the vulnerability of those institutionalized and the families who love them takes tenderness and a dedication to dogged compassion. Crystal Caudill didn’t just capture Nora and Ezekiel’s complex story, she captured mine. One that honestly cries out, ‘I don’t understand. I’m afraid to ask for help. Where are you, God?’ and commits to live by faith, not fear.
