Specters Behind the Spotlights

Elise has spent years pretending she cannot see the dead, a useful talent for the wig mistress of a national touring production of Pride & Prejudice: The Musical.

Ghosts cling to every theatre, and most of them stay harmless enough with Kevin, her acerbic spectral companion, offering running commentary from the wings.

Joining a new company was supposed to give her a clean start, but the cast is full of oversized personalities, old tensions, and far more supernatural unrest than she bargained for.

Graham, the reserved leading man playing Mr. Darcy, seems determined to look past the walls she keeps between herself and the living, even as something darker begins following her from venue to venue.

Strange accidents, missing performers, and dangerous magic threaten to spill from backstage onto the stage itself.

To stop it, Elise will have to face the past she has tried to outrun and trust a power she has spent a lifetime hiding.
