Where Erik Delozier, a man treated as a monster, meets Christine Daae, a girl treated as an angel. What will come of it? A kidnapper, a victim.. A bit of an insane Erik.. Fear can turn to love... But will it?

This novel is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Blind since birth, Elle Duncan has only ever known darkness, but lack of sight has never hindered her ability to perceive the beauty of the world. Her kind and gentle soul is put to the test when her father sustains an injury that threatens their livelihood, and in desperation, he turns to the most unlikely of saviors-the Rossetti Beast. Don Rossetti is bound for an unchanging fate. He is bad-tempered, with an equally dark and scarred countenance to match. With a heart forged of ice and a soul confined to darkness, he has surrendered to a forlorn existence. But when a peasant man arrives from the village begging for a favor, he is compelled to aid the farmer in exchange for a price-a price that Elle will be forced to pay.

Erik Destler has been giving Christine Daae voice lessons for a year. One day, unexpectedly, he asks for her hand in marriage. Although Erik has been planning the proposal for quite some time, Christine is completely unprepared for such a question by a man she knows only through lessons. She declines his proposal, which drives Erik to do the only thing he thinks possible. He kidnaps Christine on a cool autumn night. A series of events unfolds with Erik trying to get Christine to fall in love with him and Christine trying to escape, but each attempt proves to be futile. Christine knows she has to make Erik see that he can't control her and that she doesn't belong to him. But, the more she tries to attain her goal, the more she gets to know the workings of his mind. So, who will win? The kidnapper or the victim? Or, perhaps it is out of their control. Perhaps the victor is 'fate'.

In 19th century France, a journey begins. He's a mysterious artist and composer who hides his past--and his face--from the world. She's a small-town girl with a broken home. When Alana meets Erik, the former Phantom of the Opera, one thing is certain: their lives will never be the same again. *DISCLAIMER: I do not own Phantom of the Opera (unfortunately) and I do not own any of the characters or song lyrics appearing in the Andrew LLoyd Webber musical, or the 2004 film version. They are the property of Andrew Lloyd Webber, and for goodness sake, I hope I can do them some justice!
