Once upon a haunted mansion there was a former ringmaster, a fervent witch, and a frayed veil between the LIVING and the DEAD. In this evocative sequel to Waldgeist, the ringmaster yearns for his circus witch so ardently that he summons her ghost, sparking a later-in-life paranormal romance unlike any other.
England, the early 1900s. Ten years after Yasmin Lange's cryptic death in his circus, the ringmaster has retired to a mansion that some would consider theatrical. Lonely and longing for Yasmin's presence, he skims her faded diary again and again.
Before long, his own obsessive thoughts tempt the ghost of Yasmin to haunt him. As the stubborn couple finally surrenders to their feelings, the former ringmaster must resurrect his ghost-witch by digging deeper into his bloodline than he ever cared to look.
Book 2 of The Witch and the Ringmaster Duology, Schattengeist culminates in a paranormal later-in-life romance of ancestral magic, love at any cost, and courage in the face of an immortal forest demon who has claimed Yasmin for himself.
Written for fans of the Brontë sisters, The Witch and the Ringmaster beckons to readers of women's literary classics with paranormal adversity, fantasy twists, and the romantic drama of morally-gray lovers in Manteufel's Victorian Gothic debut.
