Tobias knows the guitar should not be silent.
No one else seems to notice. Not the auction house in Barcelona. Not the people who treat old instruments as curiosities. Not a world that has forgotten what music was.
Tobias Staghorn is a lonely academic with a talent for old things and a life arranged carefully around absence. When a stolen guitar, an elderly woman with impossible memories, and a stranger who feels like someone he has known forever pull him off course, he finds the silence is not empty.
It is hiding a person.
Music is gone. The world has forgotten every song. And Tobias may be one of the few people left who can notice the loss.
Stuart is there when Tobias begins to break open. Together, they are drawn through basements, care homes, old instruments, buried memories, and the strange inner places where impossible things speak.
The Day Music Died begins the Tobias and Stuart Trilogy: adult queer speculative romance about Music, memory, loneliness, explicit desire, and the first impossible step toward hope.
