Description

Phantom Fortune is a Victorian novel of mystery, ambition, and moral conflict. When sudden wealth appears to promise freedom and security, it also brings suspicion and hidden danger. A young woman’s life is transformed by chance and deception, drawing her into secrets tied to crime and identity. As illusions of fortune fade, Braddon explores the cost of desire, social pressure, and the haunting power of the past.
