Book Description
Balanced precariously on the shifting fault line between East and West, Romania's past is one of the great untold stories of modern Europe. The country that gave us Vlad Dracula, and whose citizens consider themselves descendants of ancient Rome, has traditionally preferred the status of enigmatic outsider. But it has experienced some of the most disastrous leaderships of the last century: from the corrupt and mentally unbalanced King Carol and the vain General Ion Antonescu to the fascist death cult led by Corneliu Codreanu. After 1945 power was handed to Romania's tiny communist party, under which it experienced severe repression, purges and collectivisation. Then in 1965, Nicolae Ceausescu came to power. And thus began the strangest dictatorship of all.

Publisher: ANDERSON CABRAL

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
In Pendleton, a city steeped in history and old traumas, the flicker of a dark mist brings forth echoes of a terrifying past. When children begin to disappear, Marco Oliveira, a detective haunted by traumas from his own childhood, returns to his hometown at the sheriff's invitation. Alongside Isabela Santos, a survivor marked by family secrets and pain, and Tomás, a loyal friend and strategist, they delve into an investigation that uncovers the sinister presence of a cult known as "The Children of the Night." Led by Lúcia, a charismatic and manipulative figure, the cult is dedicated to dark rituals aimed at invoking an ancestral entity through sacrifices. Lúcia's motivations go beyond mere power; she believes she can bring back lost souls, including her own family, by sacrificing innocents in the name of a "greater good." However, her actions conceal a selfishness that leaves a trail of pain and despair. As they unveil the secrets of the cult, Marco and his friends discover that the missing children are not just victims; they are part of a larger plan, a rite that seeks not only recognition but also the ability to dominate not just Pendleton, but the very fabric of reality itself. The information gathered reveals that, to prevent the final ritual, they must find an ancient relic that can seal the cult once and for all. As tensions rise and disappearances become more frequent, twists and turns arise. Miguel, Isabela's twin brother whom they believed lost, returns as an undercover agent in the cult, only to be protected by the cultists themselves. This revelation calls his loyalty into question and casts doubt on the trust the group had built. With the full moon approaching, the struggle transforms into a crucial battle between light and darkness, where secrets of friendship and betrayal entwine. Marco must confront not only the cult but also his own internal demons. He realizes that true strength lies in truth and unity and that the greatest sacrifice may be the vulnerability he has been reluctant to accept. "The Children of the Night" is a gripping tale of mystery and terror that investigates the limits of sacrifice and the echoes of the past, prompting the reader to question: how far would you go to protect those you love? The fate of Pendleton now rests in the hands of its heroes as they fight against the shadows that threaten to encircle them, bringing not only their fears but also the realities hidden beneath the surface of the town. The battle for the soul of the community is just beginning, and light will become the ultimate weapon for those brave enough to wield it.

What happens when the sun goes down at the end of the day? When the streets are empty and kids are called home for dinner and put to bed, the world becomes a magical place.
