Born deformed to a mother who despised him, the bastard son of a cruel noble, then sold into a freak show to perform as "The Living Death," Erik's Tale is one of tragedy and loss. But it is also the story of hope found in the darkest of moments through music and an unquenchable desire to survive.
A wanderer in search of belonging, Erik journeys from the musical grandeur of Vienna and the debauchery of Carnivale in Venice to the mystic hills of Ireland and the dangerous underground of India. Erik searches for hope that his life can be more than ugliness and death, joining the commune of Paris and serving the paranoid Shah of Persia on a perilous journey marked by catastrophe, triumph…and love.
Erik's Tale invites readers into the Phantom's life before the Opera, with diverse characters, surprising twists, rich historical detail, and heartbreaking romance.
