Sing Sweet Nightingale tells the story of Mariella Teagen and Hudson Vincent, who are connected by a dream world. We meet Hudson as he has just failed to protect his brother against violence, a move that results in death. In all his grief, Hudson turns all the built-up rage against Calease, a creature from the dream world he visited every night when we fell asleep. He destroyed the world he visited in his dreams, but gained him strange abilities, and visions of a girl trapped and silent.

Mariella Teagen hasn't spoken a word in four years. The love her life, Orane, asked her to stop speaking so that her beautiful singing voice would be for him alone. Orane is a creature in Mariella's dream world, and though she believes everything is fine and dandy, she is actually in danger. One day she meets Hudson, the new boy in town, and everything starts to change. Hudson seems to know about the world in her dreams, and she becomes both weary and scared of him.
