Love Never Dies: The Phantomess

Book One of the Love Never Dies Trilogy:

Melody Daaé is a pillar of Parisian society, but little is actually known about the mysterious woman. On the rare occasions that Melody chooses to socialize amongst the elite of France, she can be found on the arm of her husband, Gustave Daaé, a famous musician with the Opera Populaire. But perhaps the most intriguing part of Melody's angelic persona is the mask that always conceals the upper half of her face.

Gifted with the voice of an angel but cursed with the face of a demon, Mystique Destler resides in the fifth and lowest cellar of the Opera Populaire, only ascending to the upper levels of her theatre when she feels those above are in need of a reminder that it is, indeed, her theatre. Though Mystique's elusive nature has garnered many titles, few notice her keen intellect and, instead, choose to spread rumors about the mysterious spector that haunts the Populaire's walls, rather than recognizing the genius behind the composer whose music is the lifeblood of the opera house.

Perhaps, one day, someone will take the time to truly understand the Phantomess and realize that she and Melody are one in the same.
