Opera student Christine Daly doesn't pretend she has the world all figured out, but she's made her way in it the best she can ever since being orphaned while still a schoolgirl. Determined to leave her tragic past behind, she dreams of making a name for herself on the stage someday. Born to power and wealth, Erik Deitrich has everything a man could hope for-except a face he can show to the world. He becomes obsessed with finding the one woman who can fulfill his desire of possessing a modern-day Christine Daa to his deformed Phantom. When Erik Deitrich learns of Christine Daly's existence, he stops at nothing to claim her. Once he does, he uses every means at his disposal to ensure she will fall in love with him...without stopping to think what might happen if he fell in love with her. But with the local police vigorously investigating the young opera student's disappearance, can Erik and Christine come to any sort of understanding before it's too late?

A duel could result from any challenge to a gentleman's honour, from minor insult to major accusation. At a prearranged time, two men at odds would meet, armed either with swords or pistols, to engage in a formal and sometimes fatal exchange. Gentlemen considered it their prerogative to fight, despite the illegality of duelling, and figures as prominent as the Duke of Wellington and Georges Clemenceau defended their honour in this way. Why did participants flout the law, what codes were followed, what were the changing roles of the seconds, and what were the consequences for victims and victors? Stephen Banks answers these questions and examines the evolution from Norman trials-by-combat to the formalised duel, analysing the custom's decline in England by Victorian times and its final disppearance from Europe by the twentieth century.

Excerpt from A Forgotten Duel: Fought in Rhode Island Between William Austin, of Charlestown, and James Henderson Elliot, of Boston, March 31, 1806 I became sufficiently interested to pursue the subject further, and gathered the material forming the substance of this article, hoping it might be of interest to the descendants of the principals. It is a pleasure to record my obligation to Miss Mary Elliot Torrey, granddaughter of Major. General Simon Elliot, for facts con cerning the life of General Elliot and his son, James Henderson Elliot, and for kindly al lowing me to publish their portraits in this article.

Excerpt from The Duel The 6th Company's afternoon drill was nearly over, and the junior officers looked with increasing frequency at their watches, and with growing impatience. The rank and file of the new regiment were being instructed in garrison duty. Along the whole of the extensive parade-ground the soldiers stood in scattered groups: by the poplars that bordered the causeway, by the gymnastic apparatus, by the door of the company's school, and in the neighbourhood of the butts. All these places were to represent during the drill the most important buildings in the garrison - the commander's residence, the headquarters, the powder magazine, the administration department, etc. Sentries were posted and relieved; patrols marched here and there, shouting at and saluting each other in military fashion; harsh non-commissioned officers visited and examined the sentries on duty, trying, sometimes by a trick, sometimes by pretended threats, to fool the soldiers into infringing the rules, e.g. to quit their posts, give up their rifles, to take charge of contraband articles, etc. The older men, who had had previous experience of such practical jokes, were very seldom taken in, but answered rudely, "The Tsar alone gives orders here," etc., etc. The young recruits, on the other hand, often enough fell into the snare set for them.
