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 Shadow of the 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.
