Description
In the shadowy streets of 1930s Calcutta, twins Ben and Sheera are haunted by a dark mystery that began the night of their birth, when a brave English lieutenant sacrificed his life to protect them from an unthinkable threat. Sixteen years later, as they approach their sixteenth birthday, the sinister force that once hunted them resurfaces, drawing them into a dangerous world of secrets and supernatural terror. With only their loyal friends at their side, the twins must confront the malevolent creature that lurks in the shadows of the City of Palaces and uncover the truth about their past. Zafón masterfully weaves gothic atmosphere with historical intrigue, creating a haunting tale of courage, mystery, and the bonds that hold us together in the face of darkness. This gripping novel explores themes of destiny, friendship, and the price of survival in a city where danger waits around every corner.
