Of Songs and Phantoms: A Dark Romantasy Retelling (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069777317)

When Seraphina's mother lay dying, she made her daughter swear that she would never let anyone hear her singing voice. Years later, feisty twenty-four-year-old Seraphina is a chorus dancer, going through the motions-settling, both in her career and in her courtship to a rich yet drab beau. The authoritarian church, whose absolute and deadly power looms over the city, doesn't help matters.

Seraphina secretly craves more than the life she has. She wants the spotlight, passion, and to sing centerstage, though the oath she swore prevents her from chasing her dreams. But she discovers the reason for that oath, when one fateful night, Seraphina slips up. She sings her heart out on a rooftop only to find that her voice has forbidden magic, attracting the attention of a mysterious stranger lurking in the shadows... and the Church of Scion.

And when disaster strikes, Seraphina is forced to choose between trusting that mysterious stranger, or death at the hands of the church. Questioning everything she thought she knew, Seraphina must descend into the darkness, past the point of no return. Though being wanted for witchcraft and heresy may be deadly, Seraphina soon finds that nothing is more dangerous than her own heart.

Of Songs and Phantoms is a darkly lush romantasy retelling of the Phantom of the Opera, filled with music, magic, romance and political intrigue. Journey beyond the mirror, and surrender to your darkest dreams.
