The Story of One Awakening -...

Zohar Leo Palfi

Dive into the dark yet irresistibly compelling world of "The Story of an Awakening", a psychological thriller about an artist stripped of everything but his unquenchable thirst for truth. 
Elias Burton was once a dazzling painter whose canvases captivated audiences—until the betrayal of someone close shattered not only his career but his faith in himself. For ten years, he lived in the silence of his own oblivion, hiding from the world and from his own memories. Then mysterious letters—"Dawn," "Shadow," "Labyrinth"…—slipped beneath his door and stirred in him something far stronger than despair. 
From his dusty studio to the crumbling mansion at 17 Elm Street, Elias follows a trail of symbols and mirror-like reflections that hide clues to a long-buried truth. Each page is a brushstroke on the canvas of his fate: the tension tightens, the past takes shape, and deep within the mirrored glass glimmers the key capable of resurrecting a life laid waste. 
Perfectly balanced between psychological drama and enigmatic investigation, "The Story of an Awakening" will make you feel every emotion alongside its hero, keeping you on edge until the very end. Open the book—and experience one man's journey back from the shadows to claim his right to the dawn.
