Katharsis - English.

"In the stillness of the forest, every whisper of the wind felt like a memory - a forgotten truth clawing at the edges of his mind. The line between what was real and what was dreamed had long since blurred, and now, all that remained was the hunger, the need to understand, to unravel the secrets that bound him to this place."

Book cover completely inspired by „The Penguin Classics" book series. The art behind it is: „The Incredulity of Saint Thomas" by Caravaggio.

"A haunting tale of mystery and forbidden knowledge, this dark coming-of-age story weaves together elements of ancient mythology, obsession, and the raw, destructive power of desire. Set in the shadowy corners of rural France, it follows a group of teens as they stumble upon an ancient, otherworldly truth that will both bind and break them. As they unravel the mysteries of their own histories and hidden desires, they are pulled into a world where magic, sacrifice, and dark gods hold sway. With echoes of 'The Secret History' and 'Yellowjackets,' this narrative explores the boundaries between love, obsession, and madness, culminating in a twisted and poetic finale where reality is questioned, and the hunger for truth is both a gift and a curse."
