Begin with Awakening
Awakening opens with family, desire, sacred memory and the first evidence that Romanian folklore may describe a living power. It is the beginning of a continuous eight-book story.
As private discoveries leave evidence, clergy, laboratories, intelligence services and government are drawn in. Across Romanian villages, cities and ministries, who can protect the people carrying this inheritance?
Story and reading orderSix strands. One unfolding story.
A mythic inheritance challenges faith and science. Intelligence and government face political consequences; secrecy brings danger and exposure. Love and family change what people risk. Friendship, music, glamour and humour make their world worth protecting, while Romania’s history, traditions and everyday life hold it all together.
Myth, suspense, romance, humour and belonging meet in an ensemble narrative. Eight books tell one continuing story, beginning with Awakening.
