"You were right about me Roxani, you were right from the beginning! I am a monster, a hideous, vile, wretched monster! You're not wrong to hate me... I'm cursed, Roxani, I'm cursed, and I, and all the rest of the wretches I dragged along with me…”
No one dares to approach the old, abandoned castle that dominates the hill of Timbris. Everyone thinks it's haunted.
Sixteen-year-old Roxani doesn't believe in ghosts, and getting into the castle is just a challenge. But what she discovers inside shakes everything she knew; the truth scares her, but at the same time fascinates her; it puts her in danger, but at the same time enchants her; and at the same time fills her with curiosity. Tyrannical and unquenchable curiosity, to such an extent, that he cannot stop coming back, again and again, until he discovers all its secrets.
Strolling through the threshold of the old mansion, the biggest adventure of her life begins. She falls in love, gets hurt, makes otherworldly friends... She tests the endurance of her soul, realizes the power of forgiveness and most importantly, discovers that her very life is inextricably linked to the castle, its mysterious owner and its ghosts.
When in the end, unwittingly, she risks betraying his secrets, the consequences for them, but more so for herself, are disastrous...
Tymbri's Castle is the first book in the Half-Light trilogy; a dynamic ballad written not in music and lyrics, but in prose and words.
