"And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon, and the Dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not. Neither was their place found anymore in Heaven. And the Great Dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world, he was cast out into the Earth and his angels were cast out with him." [Revelations 12:7-9]
Beč, kasna jesen Gospodnje 1975-e. Trideset godina po svršetku Rata Palih Anđela. Dinastija Habsburg-Lothringena je prisiljena odreći se krune i prijestolja, njihov utjecaj na Ministarstva slabi uprkos prvoklasnim naoružanjima odreda i financiranju aurorskih ureda, dok strahovlada Onoga-Čije-Se-Ime-Ne-Izgovara prijeti da se proširi cijelom Europom, pa tako i na razoreno Austrijsko carstvo; ostaje im samo još jedna očajnička, davnašnja igra koju mogu odigrati. Ponikla na temeljima čarobnog svijeta koga je stvorila JK Rowling i osmišljena zahvaljujući mojoj blagoj opsjednutosti poviješću, ova priča govori o glazbi kao suštinskoj istini stvaralaštva, stegama prošlosti, zabranjenoj ljubavi i krizi čarobnjačkoga svijeta u doba Prvog rata – riječima posljednje austrijske nadvojvotkinje.
"Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing. Her father promised her that he would send her the Angel of Music. Her father promised her... "
Posebno bih željela zahvaliti Lizzie, Tonki, Pixie, Vanji i Ruti. Da nema vas, ne bi bilo ni ove priče; moja ste neiscrpna snaga i vječna inspiracija! <3

The razors on your seducing skin
In the meadow of sinful thoughts
