In The Library of Shadows, Jon inherits his father's second-hand bookshop, Libri di Luca, in Copenhagen, after the sudden and violent death of Luca Campelli.

As he grapples with his father's passing, an arson attempt on the shop forces him to confront the shadows of his family's past. Little does Jon know that the bookshop holds a remarkable secret, one that intertwines with a society of book lovers who possess the ability to influence thoughts and feelings through the power of stories.
The narrative unfolds as Jon discovers that the Libri di Luca is more than just a bookstore; it is a haven for a clandestine group that has preserved a legacy of immense power since the days of the ancient Alexandria library.

With danger lurking and alliances forming, Jon must navigate a web of intrigue and conspiracy. The stakes are high as he fights not only for the survival of his father's legacy but also for his own life and the lives of his newfound friends. The Library of Shadows is an engrossing literary thriller that explores the profound impact of storytelling and the lengths one will go to protect it.
