Cursed Love is the short prequel to A Musical Romance. The narrative is at once both historical and paranormal romance, focusing on the ill-fated love of Ludwig van Beethoven and Countess Josephine Brunsvik. The couple meet in 1799, by which time the composer is also becoming aware of his hearing problems. Sensing that he is under some sort of "curse," Beethoven visits a fortune-teller. During that session, he learns that he must write the sonata that will bring lovers together many decades later.
The Epilogue includes four excerpts from A Musical Romance: a sneak-preview of the series that follows.
