Book Synopsis

**SPECIAL DELUXE EDITION WITH STAINED EDGES, CHARACTER ART, AND MORE.**

There was a time I felt lost and alone...until I met them, and together our souls took flight: My gentle Raoul and our deadly Angel of Music.

Haunted by the violent death of her parents, Christine Daaé longs to find solace in music, but debilitating stage fright keeps her firmly in the shadows. All she can hope for is a few stolen moments singing to herself in the mournful silence of the backstage stairwell...until one night, the shadows sing back.

In exchange for complete devotion, her mysterious Phantom promises to teach her everything he knows--and with his praise boosting her confidence, Christine is finally able to take center stage...catching the eye of her sweet childhood friend turned something more, Raoul.

But her mysterious mentor is as obsessive as he is demanding, and he will not share Christine with anyone--not unless he can have them both in a bargain that is as dangerous as it is seductive. Light and shadows, gentleness and raging passion, the three of them should not fit so perfectly together. Yet as a supernatural force looms, ready to tear them apart forever, Christine must decide if love can truly exist in the space between beauty and madness...and whether she's finally ready to fully embrace the music of the night.

An addictive and truly original spicy New Adult retelling of The Phantom of the Opera with a magical twist.
