J M Smith

Prelude J M Smith

Ten years. Ten years he's been wandering, haunted by visions of the darkly beautiful ballet mistress who once loved him with all her heart. Though it is his fondest wish to rekindle the passion they once shared, he knows it can never be. She simply did not love him anymore. Ten years she's been waiting, wracked with guilt because of the thoughtless words that destroyed the only man she every truly loved. She yearns constantly for him to come home to her, but she knows he never will. So she robes herself in black and lives her life bereft of joy...devoid of love. Finally, a burning desire to save what was once Charles Garnier's dazzling masterpiece, reunites them at the Paris Opera House. The arrival of a lonely young soprano will cause the Phantom to rise again, and forever brand Madame Giry as the Box Keeper of the Ghost. In -Fin-, the final book of the Prelude series, the events of The Phantom of the Opera play out from a very different perspective. Will Erik and Annie find their way back to each other, or will the crash of the chandelier shatter their dreams forever?
