Matafunda
Beneath the flickering streetlamps and gothic spires of 1930s Burgundia, secrets are the currency of survival, and danger lurks in the misty corners of cobblestone streets. For seventeen-year-old Alex, a prodigious young agent tasked with unraveling mysteries both mundane and supernatural, the line between duty and obsession blurs when he crosses paths with the enigmatic Aino.
A routine investigation at the University of Basel introduces Alex to Aino, a woman whose calm demeanor hides a past steeped in intrigue. Months later, as her cryptic letters beckon him deeper into her shadowed world, Alex finds himself drawn to her-not just by curiosity but by a connection he can't ignore.
What begins as a search for answers spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse when Aino's pursuers close in, dragging Alex into a web of conspiracies, clandestine agencies, and spectral forces. Each revelation sharpens the edges of their peril, and Alex must navigate a world where trust is fleeting, and every choice carries lethal consequences.
As he struggles to prove himself in a world of hardened operatives, Alex's youth becomes both a weapon and a weakness. Torn between loyalty to his mission and his growing attachment to Aino, he must decide: will he be a bystander in the unraveling of her secrets or risk everything to stand by her side?
