Silent Secrets

The debut novel by Alexandra Flint — a new star of contemporary fantasy who has captured the hearts of readers in Europe. An exciting story about an ancient library beneath Paris that holds the memory of humanity, and the girl destined to protect it.

Rémi leads a quiet life in Paris, helping her sister in a flower shop and unaware of her true purpose. But one day, her measured existence is disrupted by Kazimir — a mysterious stranger demanding a magical box that Rémi knows nothing about. This encounter turns her life upside down.

It turns out that Rémi is the last heir of the ancient clan Ripari, which has protected the greatest secret of the world for centuries: the library of Mondia. Deep beneath the streets of Paris, in the labyrinth of catacombs, lies a repository of books that hold not just stories — they hold the very fate of humanity. Each book here is connected to a specific person, their choices, their life. Fix one page — and an entire destiny will change.

Now, Mondia is under threat. Forces lurking in the shadows are willing to do anything to seize the library and rewrite the history of the world. Rémi must accept her legacy and, along with Kazimir, confront the impending danger. But as she plunges into the world of ancient magic and secret knowledge, more questions arise: who can she trust when enemies hide even among friends? What secrets does her own family hold? And what price must be paid to save Mondia?

Alexandra Flint masterfully weaves the atmosphere of mysterious Paris with elements of magical realism, creating a story that will appeal to fans of "The Invisible Library" by Genevieve Cogman and the works of V.E. Schwab. This is a novel about the power of choice, about how the past influences the present, and about the courage to accept one's destiny, even when it is frightening.
