La mélodie du fantôme

In this Gothic romance, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has been haunted by a phantom ever since childhood—a mysterious male presence who appears in mirrors and sings to her in dreams. When a scholarship brings her to a prestigious opera conservatory housed in a renovated Paris opera house, Rune discovers that her connection to this spectral figure runs deeper than she ever imagined. As she navigates the competitive world of opera and uncovers dark secrets buried within the theater's walls, she must confront whether her phantom is a protector, a threat, or something far more complex. This reimagining of "The Phantom of the Opera" weaves together elements of Gothic horror, fairy tale magic, and paranormal romance. Howard explores themes of artistic passion, identity, the price of ambition, and the blurred lines between obsession and love. With its atmospheric setting, lyrical prose, and a romance that transcends the boundary between the living and the dead, the novel appeals to readers who enjoy dark, lush retellings that add psychological depth and supernatural intrigue to classic stories. The book offers both the haunting mystery of the original tale and a fresh perspective that makes it entirely its own.
