A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope: Emotional Paranormal Romance Spin-off to the Fabric of our Souls (Harlow Sanctum Interconnected Series) by K.M. Moronova

A haunting, heartwarming spin-off that follows two “mentally unwell” ghosts trying to find peace when the afterlife won’t open its doors. A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope is a tender, melancholy paranormal romance about connection after death—where love feels like a lifeline, but darkness still has teeth.

Lanston has been dead for five years—and he’s still here, trapped in the world, slowly losing hope that he’ll ever pass on. When he’s dragged to a spring performance with Yelina and Jericho, he sees her: the most beautiful phantom he’s ever witnessed, dancing onstage like she’s made of moonlight and grief. When they meet, he realizes they’re painfully alike… but something dark is chasing her, keeping her distant. Lanston wants peace, but how far will he go to find it?

Ophelia has spent years avoiding other phantoms—not because she doesn’t want them, but because she’s trying to keep them safe from the shadows that haunt her. Yet she can’t stay away from Lanston. He invites her to Harlow Sanctum and asks her to join him in completing a bucket list—because he’s determined to finally pass on. Ophelia wants to want that too… but her past is dark enough that following him into the unknown feels like stepping into a trap.

Series note: This is a spin-off and requires reading The Fabric of Our Souls first to follow the characters.
