Ex Libris
When Saga Jansson inherits her father’s mansion in the heart of York and his legendary library, she steps into a world of dark secrets and unsettling forces. With the help of antiquarian bookseller Miles Bradshaw, she uncovers fragments of ancient texts that seem to haunt her home and her dreams. Shadows close in, and Saga must confront a chilling legacy—one that blurs the line between myth and reality.
Ex Libris is a tale of gothic obsession, buried secrets, and forbidden desire.
