When the elusive Phantom of the Opera begins to torment performers and stage-hands alike at the world-renowned Opera Populaire in Pairs, Tala and Toby, two best friends who defied their families to be allowed to see each other, befriend a shy dancer, Reinette. What they don't know can't hurt them, right? Wrong. They soon get caught up in a new world of fear, danger and death that they can't escape from. But is the Phantom really as evil as the rumours say he is? "Like yellow parchment is his skin. A great black hole serves as the nose that... never grew. You must be always on your guard, or he will catch you with his magical lasso..." -Joseph Buquet, Phantom of the Opera, 2004.
