Synopsis
This gorgeous deluxe hardback edition of Kaylie Smith's bestselling romantasy includes a seductive new cover, sprayed edges, a foiled case, and beautiful endpapers. Available for a limited time and while supplies last.
Welcome to Phantasma. There are only two rules to the game. Stay alive. And don't fall in love.
When Ophelia's sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize-a single wish.
In a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. Just as fear threatens to overwhelm her, a mysterious stranger offers her a bargain.
Charming, arrogant and infuriatingly attractive, Blackwell claims he can guide her through the lethal trials ahead. Ophelia knows she shouldn't trust Blackwell. Worse still, she feels a dark and irresistible attraction drawing them closer and closer.
And in Phantasma, the only thing deadlier than losing the game is losing your heart...
A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Caraval in this seductive fantasy adventure. With steamy romance, a sexy morally gray love interest, OCD rep and jaw-dropping twists, Phantasma is perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros, Nisha J. Tuli and Carissa Broadbent.
