She believed him with a child's faith when he declared himself the reincarnation of Niccolò Paganini and then dashed from the stage, his mind in ruins.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNearly a decade after his breakdown, Phillip Manns is a recluse, insulated against the temptations of music--until a former colleague begs him to teach at a nearby conservatory. It's there that he meets Hilda, who's come to audition and plays the piece that started it all: Paganini's \u003cem\u003eLe Streghe\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003eWitches' Dance\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEntranced by the character of Hilda's playing and unable to resist the siren call of music, Phillip takes Hilda under his wing. The two start a witches' dance of their own, a whirlwind that sweeps them toward the International Paganini Competition. When their curtain falls, one will bask in the music world's acclaim--and the other's world will be shattered completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eErin Eileen Almond is originally from East Hartford, Connecticut, and attended the Hartford Conservatory.
