With a bond formed in a dark, filthy circus tent, and bolstered by defeating a murderous gypsy and a lecherous old man, Erik and Annie knew they could survive anything...as long as they were together. They may have had only a forest cave to call their home, but it was filled with joy, laughter, and the warmth of their love - and to them, that was all that mattered. But what will happen when they were suddenly forced to flee their sylvan hideaway? Will the lights of the Paris stage and the harsh scrutiny of prejudice be too much for their love to weather? And what might happen if they were then pulled apart? Prelude II: Allegro is the story of Erik and Annie's arrival in Paris, where Annie dances her first steps on the stage of the Opera Garnier, and Erik takes his first steps towards becoming the infamous Opera Ghost.
