COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.,
May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Author
Davyne DeSye releases her latest novel, Phantom Rising, on
June 15, 2020, on
Amazon.com. Phantom Rising tells the story of the
Phantom of the Opera's childhood and is the final book in her
Phantom Rising trilogy.
"The Phantom is one of the most unforgettable characters in
literature. Fans want to know about his childhood," states
DeSye, speaking about the motivation behind writing the
novel. "Gaston Leroux [author of the original book, The
Phantom of the Opera gives lots of clues to his childhood, but
fitting them all together made for quite a writing challenge."
Set in France in the 1800s,
Phantom Rising follows the life of a young boy forced to
flee his home and his mother's murderous rage when he removes his
mask. He suffers starvation and torture before falling in with a
gypsy troupe where he performs as The Living Corpse. After being
persecuted for his hideous face across Europe, Russia, China
and India, he escapes first
Mazenderan and then Constantinople under death sentences and
returns to his home country of France. Angry, disillusioned
and without hope, he makes his home in the cellars of the
Paris Opera House, determined to
hide from the world, until a young girl named Christine captures
his attention.
