The Shadow of the Past

The prequel collection, penned by renowned author Mark Campbell, transports readers back to the vibrant Paris of the early 19th century. Amidst the bustling streets and opulent theaters, a young Erik, the future Phantom, grapples with a life shrouded in mystery and adversity.

Orphaned and disfigured from birth, Erik finds solace in the solitude of the Paris Opera House. Drawn to the allure of music, he becomes the apprentice of the renowned composer, Ambroise Firmin. However, beneath the surface of Erik's exceptional talent lies a growing darkness, a yearning for acceptance that eludes him at every turn.

The Veiled Angel
