About the Book
When Ophelia's sister vanishes without a trace, there is only one way to bring her home: enter Phantasma, a notorious and deadly contest hidden inside a haunted mansion, where the sole prize is a single wish granted to the victor. But nothing about Phantasma is simple. Behind its twisting corridors and lavish, candlelit ballrooms lie nine brutal challenges, each one more dangerous than the last, designed to break even the most determined contestants.

Just as fear threatens to consume her, Ophelia is offered an unlikely lifeline: a bargain from a mysterious, infuriatingly attractive stranger named Blackwell. Charming, arrogant, and impossible to read, Blackwell claims he can guide her safely through the trials ahead, if she's willing to trust him. Ophelia knows better than to believe a man who thrives inside a house built on secrets and games, yet she can't deny the pull between them, even as the stakes grow deadlier by the hour. With rival contestants scheming at every turn and the mansion itself seeming to have a will of its own, Ophelia must decide how much of herself she is willing to risk, not just to save her sister, but to survive Phantasma at all. Featuring OCD representation, jaw-dropping twists and a slow-burn romance, Phantasma is a lush, atmospheric read that fans of gothic fantasy romance will devour.
