While visiting your father's workplace in 19th century France, you find yourself having to rush inside in of the Opera Populaire during a stormy night, for... obvious reasons. And that seemed fine. After all- aside from the sleeping ballerinas and a few other people, there wasn't supposed to be anyone around. Much less, walking around... However, that doesn't seem to be the case. You are quick to be whisked away by a masked stranger. After he fixes you up and allows you to stay the night with him, a powerful friendship begins to spark between the two of you, and you soon become an apprentice to the ever-so-famous opera ghost. You seem to know more about the events in the opera house than anyone else does- Christine Daaé, Joseph Buquet, Meg Giry, and even her own mother. You seem to hold as much knowledge as the man who brought you there. All seems well for a while. The operas, parties, drinking, and love triangles continue on as if nothing happened... That is, until you realize that you're in love with that man clad in black. *** Note: This story begins at around the same time that the musical does - when managers André and Firmin first take charge of the opera house. I tried to stay true to most of the story line, but there will be a few minor changes.

After Christine makes her disappearance, you and many other people strive to bring the Opera Populaire back to its former glory... That involves you having to climb your way up the social latter, deal with an investigation on your beloved opera ghost, and make many more relationships with those around you.

***NOTE: This book is the third and final of this series. If you would like to make sense of this book, please refer back to books one and two. After your opera ghost's grand escape, things- ironically- get more difficult. You try your best given the circumstances... however, considering that the love of your life is on the run, your best doesn't seem to be enough. You wish that you could live life with Erik as you had before, when your little secret resided in the Opera Populaire- but the both of you do your best to continue your lives with one another, even though there'll be hell to pay... and it doesn't help that there's a baby on the way.

|| Book 1 of The Shadow's Melody || As a maid here at the new Opéra Populaire I can certainly sense something different. Something missing. It lacked him. The Opera Ghost who disappeared. I know I should let it go. I know I shouldn't constantly think about a dead man. A murderer. But I simply can't. I can't forget about that man I fell in love with those many years ago. I yearned to hear his angelic voice again. I begged for it. Hoped for it. Prayed for it. I called for him in my dreams. The man they called The Phantom of the Opera. I would never have guessed that my hopes and prayers would soon be answered.

|| Book 2 || Sequel to The Shadow's Melody || When I was a small child his voice captured my soul. He haunted my dreams and stuck close to me like my shadow. I loved him, that man they called the Opera Ghost. And he loved me, too. But would his love for me ever outdo his love for his first songbird, his angel of music? Can I replace the Phantom's Christine Daaé?

|| Book 3 of "The Shadow's Melody" || (Based off of the Alternate Ending of "The Angel's Shadow") I can not possibly tell you just how happy I am in the life I have now. The life with my Erik. My wonderful Erik. The man I have wanted since I was a child and dreaming about the masked man I had seen onstage at the Opéra Populaire. He loves me, that Phantom, that Opera Ghost. He loves me. Can you believe it? Can you believe how lucky I am to have such an extraordinary man as him? He can do no wrong, not anymore. He would do anything for me and our children. He wouldn't dream of hurting any of us. Or would he?

Lilienne LaClaire is a fish out of water, so to say. No matter how hard she tries, she just can't fit in at the Paris Opera. She minds her own business and works hard to perfect her dances for Mme Cartelle- the strictest of dance instructors. But, never has she been bothered by the whispers about the Phantom of the Opera- what was there to fear of a man who hides in shadow? So, there is nothing to be afraid of when they come face-to-face, deep in the abandoned corridors of the Opera. ... Lilienne LaClaire is someone the Phantom would never bother with, under normal circumstances. But never before has he met someone who is not afraid by the mention of his name. Fascinated by this quietly brave girl, his eye seems to train on her a little too long. ... Will Lilienne learn to find her way? Will the Angel of Music adopt another pupil? Is there another who can see past his mask? You'd never get away with all this in a play... Enjoy~ J http://jordanmillerpersonal.weebly.com/my-stories.html

Lilienne LaClaire has made her choice: she will remain with her Angel of Music. But, will she survive so deep down below, or will she wilt like one of his roses? Does she have what it takes to live among the Phantom of the Opera? She only knows one thing: she must try.

The life of an ordinary girl is turned upside down when she is transported into her favorite musical, "The Phantom of the Opera," in the place of the elegant heroine. Negotiating life in 19th-century Paris is challenging enough without a diva scheming for leads, a sarcastic Persian's input, and two very different men battling for her affections! Should she stay faithful to the plot of the story or rewrite history? Should she choose a safe path with a reliable husband or risk her future following her mysterious Phantom? Told from the points of view of Erik - the Phantom - and the newly-made Christine, this story follows them both as they work through their respective demons to find love in the person that is a little different from all their imaginings.
