About this listen

By day, Celeste Morgan is a world-renowned cellist whose performances bring audiences to tears.

By night, she’s a covert assassin whose silence brings her targets to their knees.

From the IndieReader approved author of A Salary Cinderella Story (Or How to Make More Money Without a Fairy Godmother)

For years, international intelligence agencies have relied on Celeste Morgan's unparalleled discipline, flawless precision, and constant travel schedule with the New York Symphony to eliminate the world’s most dangerous figures—quietly, cleanly, invisibly. To her colleagues, she’s a virtuoso with icy poise. To her handlers, she’s the perfect weapon.

But perfection shatters.

When a high-profile hit during the orchestra’s European tour collides with a ghost from her past, Celeste uncovers a secret organization called Eidolon—a shadow network tied not only to her missions, but to the car bomb that killed her mother two decades ago. As the truth unravels, Celeste discovers that the people she trusted most have been composing her life like a symphony… and she’s merely been playing her part.

Now, hunted by her own agency and stalked by an enigmatic operative who may be ally or enemy, Celeste must choose between the two identities she has always kept in harmony: the artist and the assassin. Because Eidolon wants her back—alive or dead—and the only way to break free is to confront the past she’s been trained to forget.

Her cello knows her secrets.

Her blade writes her future.

And the next movement of her life will be written in fire.

The Silent String is a gripping, elegant, and emotionally charged spy thriller—where every note matters, every lie cuts deep, and the deadliest weapon in the room may be the woman playing the music.
