"Death is not the end of us."

Follow the emotional and heartwarming story of two mentally unwell ghosts who've lost their way.

Lanston

It's been five years since I died and I'm still here. Still haunting this world. I've all but given up hope of passing on the other side when I'm dragged to a spring performance with Yelina and Jericho. It's there that I see the most beautiful phantom I've ever witnessed dancing on the stage. Only after meeting her do I realize how similar we are. But darkness chases her, keeping her distant from me. But how far am I willing to go to find peace?

Ophelia

I've evaded other phantoms for years. To keep them safe and away from the shadows that haunt me. But for some reason, I can't stay away from him. He invites me to join him at Harlow Sanctum, where he asks me to join him in completing our bucket list. He wants to pass on. But I have a dark past that keeps me from wanting to follow him into the dark.

This is the spin-off to The Fabric of Our Souls, which must be listened to first to follow the characters in this story.

It was definitely a slower one than the first book but I think it was perfectly written, the emotions it makes you feel is insane! The way they ended Lanstons story was remarkable and It couldnt have been written better.

Left me a sobbing mess (in a good way)

Some books don’t just tell a story—they live inside you, whispering their truths long after you’ve turned the final page. A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope is one of those rare books. It isn’t just a story—it’s an ache, a breathless moment, a flicker of hope in the darkest of nights.

From the very first page, Moronova’s writing grips you. It doesn’t ask for permission—it pulls you in with hauntingly poetic prose and refuses to let go. The characters feel raw, almost too real, as if their pain, their longing, their fragile hope could shatter at any moment. And yet, even in their brokenness, they shine.

There were moments when my heart physically hurt. Moments when I had to pause, close the book, and just breathe. The grief, the ghosts—both literal and metaphorical—felt suffocating at times. But then, just when the darkness threatened to consume everything, Moronova would slip in a line, a scene, a whisper of hope that felt like the first light after a storm.

This book is a masterpiece of emotions. It will break you. It will mend you. And in the end, it will remind you that even in the presence of ghosts, even when the past clings like a shadow, hope is always there—soft, quiet, but alive.

If you read one book this year, let it be A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope. It will haunt you. It will heal you. And it will stay with you, forever.

An absolute hauntingly beautiful story! Just like fabric of our souls, this book truly broke and healed my heart all in one book. It’s so beautifully written and is a story I will hold close to my heart.

Yet again another book that broke and healed my heart all in one book.

I absolutely loved the the fabric of our souls and immediately grabbed this once I saw that it was out here on audible. I didn't love this book as intensely as the first one, but I'm so happy we got some more story about Lanston. Him and Wynn were my favourites. I'm also thankful that Walker Williams was the one who narrated this series because if it wasn't for him (he's my insta buy narrator), I would have never discovered these two books and this author!! He's amazing and his voice fit better as Lanston than what he did for Liam. Really excellent choice for both narrators. I enjoyed this beautiful read so much. Thank you

I could not love this series any more than I already do. I spent this entire book putting my broken heart back together after the ending of book 1 and man was it hard to do. This book takes a beloved character and gives him everything in death that we all think he deserved in life. The sadness of it all is he found true happiness in death when he never came close to grasping it in real life. The song "The night we met" by Lord Huron is mentioned at the most random of times and it truly added to the building emotions of a scene until I found myself ugly crying out of nowhere because of how deeply I've always felt that song. I even found myself listening to the song as soon as I finished the book to try and hold on to that feeling of happiness for Lanston just a little bit longer. This series has effectively broken me and started to put me back together again, but I've got a long way to go as someone who also struggles with mental health and being neurodivergent. By far one of the best series I've read in a long time and I would give anything to be able to read it for the first time again.

Take me back to the night we met

I loved Fabric of our Souls and Lanston was my favorite so this book was a must for me and DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! I had read this on ebook and loved it so much i needed to do audio and was enthralled w the emotions in narration and absolutely loved meeting Ophelia. Beautifully written as was the first installment. Instant click with this author!
