A Second Chance

 

Copyright 2003, 2004 by Riene

 

 

Author’s Note—This is a new novel, based on the characters from The Phantom of the Opera, by Gaston Leroux, Phantom, by Susan Kay, and the musical by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and the Really Useful Group.  The scenery is my own, as are the slightly different characterizations.  This novel is not set in my Red Rose timeline, though it borrows many aspects of that phiction.  You will no doubt recognize the underground home and other parts of that story finding their way into this story as well.

 

The Usual Disclaimer—these characters are not mine, belonging as they do to the heirs of M. Leroux, Sir A. L. Webber and the RUG, and Susan Kay.  I thank them for the privilege of their use.  All errors concerning the Paris Opera, music, religion, history, the military, and French language are mine, and for that, I apologize.

 

SummaryThis story is set immediately after the end of the ALW stage play.  It has been two days since Christine left Erik to face the mob alone, and she finds herself wondering what has happened in her absence.
