What to expect

Discover a fantastical story inspired by The Phantom of the Opera, as musical magicians compete for the once-in-a-lifetime role as the King's Mage, but only if their magic—or fellow contestants—don't destroy them first—perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Erin Morgenstern.

"Gorgeous and lush." -Rachel Howzell Hall, New York Times bestselling author of These Toxic Things

"Dreamy, dangerous, and utterly enchanting!" -Logan Karlie, New York Times bestselling author of The Shadow Weavers duology

For as long as Selene remembers, she's only wanted one thing: to sing the boldest, brightest magic into existence and win L'Opéra du Magician. To the winner goes the spoils of being declared King's Mage, a position her father held years ago, before he lost control of his magic and spiraled into madness, leaving Selene an orphan. But when the competition turns cutthroat and a competitor steals Selene's song, the chance to redeem her father's legacy begins to slip through her fingers.

Until, in the depths of the opera house, she discovers a mysterious and beautiful man trapped within a mirror. He offers not only the magic of music, but a darker sorcery of shadow, blood, and want. He can help Selene if she helps him in return—but his forbidden magic may not be worth the cost.

As the competition continues and mages are driven to ruin competing for the king's favor, Selene must navigate betrayal, the return of childhood love, and the price of ambition.

"This book truly sings." -Sydney J. Shields, USA Today bestselling author of The Honey Witch

"A lush, devastatingly romantic gothic fantasy." -L.R. Lam, USA Today bestselling author of the Dragon Scales series

Critics Review

"Megan Eccles thrills with Sing the Night. She gives us gorgeous and lush language and then dares to give us dread and destruction in this fascinating world of art, music, and blood magic. I didn't want to stop reading!"—Rachel Howzell Hall, New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author
"Sing the Night is an enchanting gothic fantasy where music becomes magic and ambition hums beneath every note. Set inside a glittering opera house alive with secrets and rivalry, Megan Jauregui Eccles spins a luminous story that is dreamy, dangerous, and utterly enchanting! Perfect for fans of The Phantom of the Opera."—Logan Karlie, New York Times bestselling author of Dream by the Shadows
“With hauntingly melodic prose, this romantic tale of heartbreak and hunger will grip you until the end of the grand finale. This book truly sings with an atmosphere that thoughtfully honors the dark decadence of The Phantom of the Opera. I adored every single page!”—Sydney J. Shields, USA Today bestselling author of The Honey Witch
"Sing the Night is a lush, devastatingly romantic gothic fantasy for everyone who grew up deeply obsessed with Phantom of the Opera. A perfect escape."—L.R. Lam, USA Today bestselling author of Dragonfall and Pantomime
"Hauntingly beautiful and rich with gothic allure, Sing the Night weaves a spell of musical enchantment that lingers long after the last note fades."—Georgia Leighton, Sunday Times bestselling author of Spellbound
"Sing the Night is an operatic experience full of magical music, hauntings of soul and song, and a stage set for disaster. It’s an exploration of the beauty of art and the dark side of ambition and all the minor and major notes we find in between."—Autumn Krause, critically acclaimed author of Grave Flowers
“Sing the Night is a gorgeously rendered retelling of the beloved classic The Phantom of Opera. Both familiar and strange, Megan Jauregui Eccles' debut introduces an unforgettable and competitive world where music itself is magic and power is wielded by the boldest voice; it is a world where love is a sacrifice and memories craft the scars that drive one woman’s ambition to not only become the King's Mage, the best and most honored magician in the land, but to cleanse the legacy of her father, a brilliant mage who was destroyed by his own gift. With the help of ‘a ghost in the mirror,’ she might succeed in her quest, but the price of such success is often paid in madness and blood.”—Amiee Gibbs, author of The Carnivale of Curiosities
“A deeply intimate dissection of ambition in the arts and the cost of power and success. Eccles’s prose is lyrical and deliciously arranged, painting a picture of beauty amidst darkness that will leave you wanting more and more.”—RJ Valldeperas, author of Their Will Undone
