The Last Song at the Music Hall
(2026)(The third book in the Tales of Eldermere series)
A novel by Justin Greathouse
Some rooms remember every note ever played inside them. Some are waiting for someone brave enough to listen.
For twenty years, Dill Harrow has made a living fixing what other people cannot hear.
She is one of the finest piano tuners on the circuit, able to find a wrong note almost before it is struck. She travels light, stays nowhere long, and has perfected the art of solving a problem before anyone can ask her to stay.
Then a letter calls her back to Tidemark.
Her grandmother is dead. The old concert hall she left behind is falling apart. A wealthy preservation trust has offered to restore it, preserve its music forever, and erase every debt attached to it.
All Dill has to do is sign.
But Tidemark is not an ordinary harbor town.
Its fog carries words across the water. Its bells speak a language the whole town understands. Instruments remember what people have asked them to hold. And behind the locked doors of the concert hall waits a piano Dill was warned never to tune until she could truly hear it.
As the hall begins to wake around her, Dill discovers that her unusual ear is not an accident at all. She is part of an old tradition of Listeners—people who can hear the things rooms and instruments remember long after everyone else has gone silent.
And some memories have been waiting thirty-one years to be heard.
The Last Song at the Concert Hall is a warm, atmospheric cozy fantasy about music, memory, community, quiet romance, and the difference between preserving something perfectly and allowing it to live.
Return to the world of Tales of Eldermere in a new seaside town filled with old magic, stubborn traditions, impossible instruments, and one concert hall that has been holding its final song far too long.
Genre: Fantasy
