Description
Book One of the Love Never Dies Trilogy: Gifted with the voice of an angel but cursed with the face of a demon, Mystique Destler has forgotten how the sun's warmth feels against her skin and has never known the gentle touch of a lover. Wearing a mask to conceal her deformed features and residing in the fifth and lowest cellar of the Opera Populaire, Mystique only ascends to the upper levels of her theatre when she feels those above are in need of a reminder that it is, indeed, her opera house. Though her elusive nature earns Mystique many titles, few notice the keen intellect she possesses and, instead, choose to spread rumors about the mysterious spector that haunts the Populaire's walls instead of recognizing the genius behind the composer whose music is the lifeblood of the theatre. But soon, the kingdom of which Mystique fancies herself queen is thrown into upheaval with the arrival of Erik, Count de Chagny, and his younger brother, le Vicomte Raoul de Chagny. As romance blossoms and rivalries form, Mystique Destler finds herself willing to risk it all for the chance at a love she has never known, but the flames of passion and jealousy quickly consume the Opera Populaire, threatening to destroy the only home she has ever known. Join me, your humble guide, as we descend beneath the Paris Opéra House and dive into the tragic tale of the Count and the Phantomess. Let their story be a reminder that, no matter what happens, love never dies.
