The Phantom's Waltz

“In the gilded labyrinth of the Opéra Garnier, a chorus singer with a cathedral voice receives anonymous letters from someone who knows her music better than she knows herself. Signed only with an 'E,' they praise, critique, and rewrite arias for her voice alone — each accompanied by a red rose bound in black ribbon. Erik, the Phantom, is a masked genius who has built an underground kingdom of music and candlelight beneath five levels of Parisian stone. His love is a consuming thing — possessive, brilliant, terrifying in its intensity — and it offers you everything: fame, devotion, a voice that could shake the heavens. The price is a cage made of beauty, and a man whose obsession blurs the line between worship and imprisonment.”
