Christine Daae has spent eight years fatherless, alone, and left to fend for herself day in and day out. She has abandoned her dreams of performing on stage and instead works as a tutor and accompanist. On a chance encounter with the new co-owner of the Premier Theater, Raoul Chagny, she is swept once again into the world of theater and into a romance that transcends her wildest dreams. Little does she know, a masked stranger lurks in the shadows and is determined to dominate her will. Just as Christine's relationship with Raoul blossoms, she is swept away into darkness and imprisoned in a subterranean world. In order to survive, she must wear a fa ade and, through an intense power struggle, she comes to understand that not all monsters are easy to define. Based on Gaston Leroux's gothic masterpiece, this dark retelling combines romance with suspense and horror. WARNING: This book is an exploration of a psychopath's relationship with the object of his obsession, therefore Erik is extremely out of character for those who prefer a romantic version. This book contains disturbing content. Reader discretion is advised.
