When I fell in love with the Phantom of the Opera right on the cusp of my teens, the story of courage and compassion was a life raft for me. But even then there was one problem with the story I loved...Erik, the Phantom, ended up alone, even though he was redeemed. It was a tragedy even though it was a love story. I knew one day, I'd find a way to change that.

That is what the Phantom Saga has meant for me, changing the story we know into the one we want, or even need. In the end, I wanted this to be a tale of hope and forgiveness. And that's what it is.

Don't think this is a spoiler. When I list and market these books as romance novels I do that knowing that a Happily Ever After is required. What matters is how we get there, and I guarantee the path will surprise you. I just hope this story brings you some of the hope and joy it's brought to me.

Thank you for reading.
