Shadow Play v2
The Magicians: Shadow Play Audiobook 🕯️
Step into the velvet-draped mystery of Melbourne’s haunted Princess Theatre, where illusion and the afterlife collide in a spellbinding tale of magic, mischief, and spectral redemption.
When Blake, a tuxedo-clad sorcerer and reluctant grim reaper, finds himself drenched in blood—thanks to his vampire assistant Max’s explosive rabbit trick—he stumbles upon something far more chilling than a botched magic act: the ghost of famed opera singer Frederick Baker, still haunting the dress circle in Victorian finery.
Joined by his son Lance, a sharp-tongued reaper with a nose for the dead, Blake must navigate haunted corridors, theatrical legends, and a ghost who’d rather stay than cross over. But when the Phantom of the Princess Theatre reveals his loneliness, a promise of companionship—and a pet rabbit—might be just the magic needed to guide him home.
✨ The Magicians: Shadow Play is a gothic supernatural dramedy blending theatrical lore, father-son banter, and the bittersweet beauty of letting go. Perfect for fans of ghost stories with heart, dark humor, and a touch of operatic flair.
