Harlow Sanctum Interconnected Series, Book 2

De: K. M. Moronova

Narrado por: Walker Williams, Isabelle Turner

"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.

Left me a sobbing mess (in a good way)

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.

A Ballard of Phantoms and Hope

I couldn’t be happier how this series ended. My heart ached and was healed at the same time. If you are looking for a book to hit you in the feelings, look no further. This is the book. K.M. Moronova writes her stories and characters with such care that they are able to steal your heart and make you fall in love.

Real tears

I love the way Lanston’s story was ended. It was so heartbreaking at times and yet so beautiful. Perfect ending to the series.

There were moments when my heart physically hurt.

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.

eewwwwwiie baby..

this was just a good experience and to have it come from fabric of our soul.. both very great 📚 books

Beautiful

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!

Hauntingly beautiful love story about hope

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

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

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.

the concept of the storyline was cute

it was very boring and anticlimactic compared to the fabric of our souls. i held high standards for this and it just sucked
