Phantom Nightmare
Invited to London by the Duke and Duchess of Lancaster, Erik is resigned to working on the Duke’s amateur opera, but he is not prepared to face two figures from his past, Dr. Richmond and Celeste Renoit. Sculptress and murderer, Celeste Renoit, like Erik, was once interned in Dr. Richmond’s asylum in Austria. Now with the patronage of London society, she prepares for an exhibition of her work: a series of busts based on Erik’s unmasked face. No less disturbing is the rumor that Dr. Richmond is working on a manuscript of his most interesting cases, including that of the Phantom of the Opera. But darker deeds may be in store for Erik and his family. For bodies have been found floating in the river, drained of blood, their faces mutilated.
Phantom Madness
On sabbatical in Rome, Dr. Richmond meets the volatile genius of the opera, Erik Costanzi. The chance to study the connections between madness and genius seem to converge in the exaggerated stories of Costanzi’s eccentric life. When an accident strikes one of his children, Erik’s emotional and violent reaction confirms the doubts that Dr. Richmond has planted in Meg’s mind about her husband’s sanity. Although she agrees to permit Dr. Richmond to treat Erik, she has no idea that the physician intends to take him out of the country to an undisclosed location to study him for an indeterminate period of time. Taken by force from his home, believing that Meg has betrayed him, Erik is compelled to reveal his past as the Phantom of the Opera. But there are other memories and revelations that Erik has been unable to face that Dr. Richmond’s sessions bring to the surface. How will Erik confront these secrets? How can he forgive Meg’s complicity with the man who makes him face his darkest night? A fifth book in the Phoenix of the Opera series, Phantom Madness returns to the same characters and continues the story of the Phantom of the Opera.

Willoughby
Willoughby is the story, taken from the pages of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, of the ill-fated lovers, Marianne and Willoughby. Foolish and impetuous, Willoughby becomes involved in a reckless affair, the consequences of which he won’t fully know until it’s too late. Only when he meets and falls in love with Marianne Dashwood does he understand and regret the consequences of his rash behavior. Cast aside, her romantic illusions broken, Marianne must teach her heart to love more wisely. Despite their separate paths, Willoughby’s and Marianne’s stories are intertwined, and fate brings them together, with unexpected consequences, at critical moments in their lives. Faithful to the events in the original, Sadie Montgomery integrates new material into Austen’s text and spins a tale of missteps and their consequences, partial truths and revelations, transgressions and redemption. Taking the plot well beyond the final pages of Sense and Sensibility, we follow Marianne and Willoughby into their separate marriages, through joys and sorrows, through battles at home and abroad, to discover that passion does not always fade and that reason alone cannot fulfill us.
