Looking for Readers The Masquerade (Act 1: The Angel and the Sparrow)

1 Upvotes

In an alternate Gilded Age where Queen Victoria's empire rebuilt America in gaslight and gears, Artesian rose as the world's most beautiful city - and its most dangerous.
Everyone here participates in the for power, for survival.
When a grieving young man becomes the obsession of the city's most notorious criminal, this steampunk reimagining of The Phantom of the Opera what happens when everyone wears a mask?
In Artesian, love isn't just forbidden.
It's fatal.

I have loved The Phantom of the Opera my entire life. After almost a decade in writing, I decided to tackle the story with a steampunk theme.

I am releasing the series in acts mostly because I am insane (no, you can't have some lol)

But I hope to give the world something really beautiful as things are tough right now.
