แแ แแแฌแแแแแก แจแแกแแฎแแ
Onstage, Claire's known as the operatic sensation of Landry City, but offstage, she hunts the man whose violent act made her a cyborg and killed her parents. The people of Landry City might despise cyborgs, but her home is all she has left, and Claire means to protect it. Just when her double life leads her straight to the enemyโs door, an unexpected factor enters the equation: Claireโs long lost love, Isabelle Chagny.ย
Even if Iz can accept Claireโs transformation, Claire isnโt willing to risk her exโs safety. But Iz and her companions are already entangled with Claireโs nemesis, and if she wants to save her home, sheโll need to decide: fight alone in the shadows to save the city that hates her, or form an alliance--and risk the only woman sheโs ever loved in the process.ย
Inspired by Gaston Lerouxโs the Phantom of the Opera, Phantom Song is the second novella in the Toccata System trilogy.ย
