The Phantom's Bride

Words are dangerous. Ghost stories come to life. And one girl has a choice to make.

Camilla Verne has secured the match of the season with her engagement to Valentin Steinbauer, the Duke of Anhalt. But there are disturbing rumours about her betrothed which she can't ignore.

The delights of the Frost Fair come to London, and Camilla crosses paths with Finley Renwick, a storyteller struggling to make ends meet. But Finley is no ordinary performer. He is a gifted word weaver, who has the power to spin ghost stories into life.

When Finley twists the rumours about the duke into a story of murder and betrayal, the ghost of Valentin's brother slips through the veil. But has he come for revenge, or to warn Camilla about her betrothed?

The Phantom's Bride is a fast-paced gothic fantasy that re-imagines Regency England as a world full of ghosts and magic. It is the first instalment of a YA trilogy, and is perfect for fans of Bridgerton and The Phantom of the Opera.
