Our Strange Duet

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Christine Daaé. Her Voice. Her Story. As it's never been told before. The haunting gothic romance and reimaging of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, told through the eyes of Christine Daaé as she rises to fame while torn between love, ambition, and the haunting secrets of the opera house - from the bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows, Erin A. Craig. She was never just the voice he shaped . . . A rising soprano with a gift she is only just learning to embrace, Christine Daaé has moved through the glittering world of the Opera Populaire longing to find her purpose. Instead, she finds herself caught between two men who refuse to let her slip quietly into the chorus. One is Raoul, her childhood friend turned devoted admirer, offering her a future filled with warmth, safety, and a love that feels like sunlight. The other is a mysterious masked figure who lurks beneath the opera house: The Phantom. His brilliance, obsession, and dangerous devotion to nurturing Christine's talents ignites a dark and complicated passion in her heart. As Christine's star ascends, so does the tension between Raoul and the Phantom. She must decide who she is when the curtain falls - and what she's willing to risk for the life she wants. Set against the haunting, romantic world of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, Our Strange Duet allows Christine Daaé to take centre stage to tell her own story.
