This is a retelling of one of my personally favorite novels, The Phantom of the Opera.
We start off the story with our heroine, Rune Germain. A black haired songstress who despises her singing abilities. While her song soars the music seems to take away her, leaving her weak and ill. Her mother and Aunt decide to send her off to a new prestigious opera college outside of Paris, Roseblood.
Roseblood is an old theatre that had suffered massive fire, leaving the top floors devastated. Having been abandoned by the previous owners and then sold, it has been remodeled to fit a new school. Housing 50 students, 6 teachers, and one groundskeeper only the first three floors are in use. With ties to the infamous tragedy and Opera Ghost, it's a prime location for a phantom.
Thorn lives at the theatre, has lived there since his childhood. When he hears Rune sing he becomes fascinated by the sound of her voice. Wanting to help her with the gift of music, he begins playing violin for her at night while everyone else is asleep.
With new friends who try to keep her grounded in reality, Rune finds herself drawn deeper and deeper into the tale that's been haunting her since childhood.
With an opera role in the balance and a masquerade coming up, Rune has to act fast to save her mind from falling into further insanity.
But the masquerade is the one place where the phantom can truly come out and begin the game.
