*This is a spin-off to The Fabric of our Souls which must be read first*

A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope is a spin-off to The Fabric of Our Souls. This is a hauntingly emotional paranormal romance that follows Lanston and Ophelia in the years after their deaths as they struggles to find peace and pass to the other side. 

This book was made for the mentally unwell, for those that live with the darkness inside them every day. I cannot express how deeply reassuring it is to know that someone else understands the darkest parts of your soul. The parts of yourself that you’ve learned to hide from the world, the parts of yourself that society has taught you to hate. 

This book is dark, morbid, and emotional. Lanston and Ophelia’s story will break you apart and make you feel whole at the same time. Their story is a reminder that sometimes the best way to light up the darkness is to find someone who’s not afraid to sit in it with you.
