Description
In the mysterious world of music, there exists a legendary instrument, the 'Assassin' violin. Crafted with the intent to kill a King. This violin possesses a magical sound, accompanied by a serpent at its scroll that demands perfection from those who dare to play it. The stakes are high, as history dictates that no one who has attempted to play the assassin's has lived to tell the tale. Transported across continents, the narrative unfolds from England to Australia, New Zealand, and Paris. In 1718 the King of England issues a decree to destroy the dreaded instrument, fearing its deadly consequences. However, some cannot bear to dismantle such a magnificent creation. Fast forward to the modern world, where the legend of the 'assassin violin' is handed down through generations of musicians. Enter Tony, captivated by the violin's history since childhood, determined to locate the lost instrument and conquer the serpent's bite. Along his journey, he encounters love, betrayal, and revenge, particularly from Lauren, who schemes to use the 'assassin violin' to her advantage. As over a thousand musicians gather in Australia, Tony faces a perilous performance, with enemies lurking and the Sydney police monitoring the unusual influx of violin players. Then there is Hannah, a strong-willed violin teacher from London, rushes to Australia in a desperate attempt to save Tony from his dangerous pursuit. Amidst the real-life challenges intertwined with the 'assassin' legend, she imparts crucial life lessons to her students. The unique adventure unfolds, promising to change perceptions and interactions, as the 'assassin violin' casts its shadow over the lives of those who dare to play its haunting melody.
