The Resonance of Dust and Glass

Ivana Marković is a prodigy in sonic architecture, a field that blends acoustics and structure to create buildings that heal. Desperate to fund a cure for her younger sister's rare respiratory ailment, she accepts a lucrative, secret commission from the powerful Kovač Consortium: design the Lodestar Sanatorium for their brilliant but ailing rival, Damek Rostova. The catch? Damek can’t know she works for his enemies. Posing as an independent contractor, Ivana enters Damek's isolated world, a man as sharp and fragile as the crystal he surrounds himself with. Their relationship begins with clashing wills and scathing critiques, but his genius and vulnerability slowly break through her shy reserve. As they work, Ivana notices a strange connection between Damek's worsening tremors and the resonant frequencies of the very materials she's building with. The two plotlines - his illness and her architectural project - are converging into one. Now trapped with him during a city-wide quarantine, Ivana must solve the architectural puzzle before the building she designed to heal him becomes his tomb. Can she save the man she's come to love without betraying the secret that could destroy them both?
