    "description": "\u2018Every story needs a happy ending. And you can\u2019t have yours until you find the bookstore.\u2019\n\n1692. On the outskirts of Salem, a bookstore stands covered in overgrown vines. Inside, a young woman hides a linen-wrapped journal under a loose floorboard and runs away, panicked by the sound of hounds barking in the distance. The bookstore vanishes into thin air\u2026\n\nPresent day. Stepping inside a pale-pink house on one of the oldest streets in Salem, Dora can\u2019t believe she\u2019s about to finally meet the mother she thought died tragically when she was just a child. But the excitement is short-lived. Dora\u2019s mother has fear in her eyes, and with a trembling voice she whispers: \u2018my life is in danger, and now so is yours\u2026\u2019\n\nDesperate not to lose her mother all over again, Dora digs into her family\u2019s mysterious past, and stumbles upon a seemingly impossible secret: the key to their survival is hidden in a bookstore that no one has seen for generations.\n\nLosing herself amongst thorny brackens and twisted ferns, Dora eventually finds the path that leads to the bookstore. But someone is watching her. They\u2019ve been waiting for her.\n\nAs she pushes open the beautiful blue door hidden amongst the sharp brambles, and stands in front of rows of crumbling leatherbound books with faded pages, she has no idea of the secrets she is about to uncover. Or that her life is in more danger than ever before\u2026",
