The Shadow of the Wind

In postwar Barcelona, ten-year-old Daniel Sempere is led by his father to the secret Cemetery of Lost Books, a hidden library of forgotten titles. There he selects a novel, The Shadow of the Wind, by the enigmatic Julián Carax. As Daniel matures, he discovers that a faceless stranger is hunting down every copy of Carax’s works to destroy them, and the man bears an uncanny resemblance to a demonic figure from the story itself.

This discovery plunges Daniel into a labyrinth of long-buried secrets surrounding Carax’s life and death. A gripping blend of literary mystery and suspenseful thrills, The Shadow of the Wind is the first volume in the Untitled series, a work of fiction that explores dangerous obsessions, forbidden love, and the dark power of stories.
