That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within, not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear (Stephen King) Fifteen captivating stories that will hold the reader spellbound until the very end of each narrative, offering a voyage from historical epochs to contemporary times, infused with elements of noir. The anthology contains several gems, including Monoculus Orsinum; The beautiful Galiana; Trial of a witch; Re-start; Paraments; The Moai's revenge. Each narrative plunges you into lives that have been relived countless times and historical periods marked by intense drama and emotional depth. What stands out most, however, is the variety of themes explored and the overarching message of hope and love the author presents. From legends, conflicts, and cunning strategies to witches and cutting-edge smartphones, it's the modus operandi of each protagonist that truly sets these stories apart.
