This incredible portrait of ErikвЂ“the PhantomвЂ“recreates his entire life, from his survival as a child in a carnival freak show to his creative genius behind the Paris Opera HouseвЂ“and its labyrinthine world belowвЂ“to his discovery of love. As the two discover an otherworldly connection and a soul-deep romance blossoms, ThornвЂ™s dark agenda comes to light and heвЂ™s forced to make a deadly choice: lead Rune to her destruction, or face the wrath of the phantom who has haunted the opera house for a century, and is the only father heвЂ™s ever known. Hoping creative direction will help her, RuneвЂ™s mother sends her to a French arts conservatory for her senior year, located in an opera house rumored to have ties to The Phantom of the Opera.ДЄt RoseBlood, Rune secretly befriends the masked Thorn-an elusive violinist who not only guides her musical transformation through dreams that seem more real than reality itself, but somehow knows who she is behind her own masks. In this modern day spin on LerouxвЂ™s gothic tale of unrequited love turned to madness, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has a mysterious affliction linked to her operatic talent, and a horrifying mistake sheвЂ™s trying to hide. Here are a few books that you may like if youвЂ™re a Phantom of the Opera fan.

IвЂ™m currently reading the original book in French, Le FantГґme de lвЂ™OpГ©ra by Gaston Leroux, and I have yet to see the movie.

Ever since I saw the Broadway musical IвЂ™ve fallen in love with this story.
