A curse. A word weaver. And the memory of a kiss.

 

A dowager duchess at eighteen, Camilla Steinbauer is embroiled in scandal after her disastrous wedding to a duke. She mourns her late husband and, as the ton prepare for another season in London, she longs for the impossible: to be reunited with her lost love.

 

When Eliza Farrow elopes with the new Anhalt heir and invites Camilla to spend the summer with her in Prussia, Camilla leaps at the chance. But her broken heart leads her back to the world she swore to leave behind. The world of ghosts, magick, and woven words.

 

But when a curse is unleashed in Anhalt, Camilla – who has been seen wandering the halls with a shadow – is blamed for it. Camilla is forced to confront the evils of the spirit realm, but the only person who can help her is the man she left behind in London. Her dearest friend, and her second chance at love.

 

The dukedom is in peril, the veil is falling, and Camilla’s heart is torn in two. Are Finley’s woven words enough to save them?

 

Bridgerton meets The Corpse Bride in The Phantom’s Curse. It is the second instalment of The Spirit Realm Saga, a fast-paced gothic fantasy trilogy that re-imagines Regency England as a world of ghosts and magic.
