Shadow of Library is the first book in the collection The Legacy of Rosedale — a five-book series of psychological horror with ritualistic elements.
The books are interconnected. What happens in one will be clarified or expanded in the others.
The structure of the series is reversed: the story is told from end to beginning.
Each book contains between 60,000 and 70,000 words, offering a full-length, immersive experience of psychological tension and dread.
You can read any of the books on their own, without needing to follow a specific order.
But if you want to understand the full truth, you’ll need to read all five:
Shadow of Library / 2. Henry Davenport / 3. Rosedale / 4. The Origin of the Dark Codex / 5. The Last Guardian of Rosedale
Some endings were written to create doubt.
You’ll finish the book with three possible interpretations.
And you’ll find yourself asking:
What really happened?
Was that real?
Or was it just your mind trying to escape the truth?
The Legacy of Rosedale is not a typical story.
It’s a cycle. A narrative experiment. A descent into the most fragile part of the human mind.
And it starts here.
My name is Leonardo Dias Marzano. I am the author of The Legacy of Rosedale, a series of five interconnected books in the genre of psychological and ritualistic horror, with a focus on progressive, ambiguous, and thought-provoking storytelling.
The series is told in reverse order, from end to beginning. Each book can be read independently, but only after reading all five will the full story be revealed. Three of the books feature open-ended conclusions, offering multiple interpretations and inviting the reader to question what truly happened.
The first volume of the series is titled Biblioteca das Sombras (Shadow of Library). The manuscript is complete and available for professional reading and evaluation. The project was developed with accessible language, a solid structure, full editing, and is intended for both national and international publication.
I am currently seeking a literary agent or publishing house aligned with the genre and vision of this series. If you are interested in learning more about the project, feel free to reach out.
