Spirits and PactsA Retelling of Rumpelstiltskin and The Phantom of the Opera - Part 2
She married the man she loves. But at what cost?
Five years after the fire at the theater and Katy and Axel's wedding, pressure is building because of their childless state. Katy's feelings are mixed: the kingdom needs an heir, but the gold-spinning stranger can't take a child she doesn't have.
While Axel longs for the stage, he can’t ignore the fact that his kingdom needs him, little as he feels qualified. He tries to shield Katy from the trouble brewing in the council, but more accidents at the theater, a curse no one remembers until it breaks, and physical danger mix with the secret she is hiding.
Can Katy find a way to save their child? Or will the troubles in the kingdom pull her down with them?
Spirits and Pacts is part two of a clean, no-spice retelling of Rumpelstiltskin and The Phantom of the Opera. It is the third book in The Roumaterra Chronicles, a series of interconnected, standalone fairy tale retellings perfect for readers of Brittany Fichter, Celeste Baxendell, and Annette K. Larsen.

Erin Halbmaier
Programmer. Composer. Author of clean, no-spice fairytale retelling/romance novels.
Erin Halbmaier’s love of a good tale covers multiple genres, but the relationships are always what draw her in. As such, she strives to create complex, compelling characters and put them in tense, dramatic situations as they seek the light in the midst of whatever darkness they may be facing. In essence, her characters have flaws and may kiss, but her fantasy/romance books will never be steamy, have minimal to no swearing, and minimal to no gore.
When not writing books (or reading them), she can be found programming or hanging out with her husband, two children, and two dogs at their home in the country.
