The History of Shadows
by Thomas Kalokiris
"This is the best organized effort to gather absolute power and subjugate all resistance. Without knowledge there is no doubt, without doubt there is no thought, without thought there is no inspiration, without inspiration there is no freedom, without freedom there is no reaction."
Thessaloniki, 2015. How is a conspiracy theory constructed? Achilles accepts his teacher's challenge. The journey begins and its end is unpredictable. History becomes obsession, fantasy becomes reality. The truth lurks behind a heinous crime.
Europe, 1558. The Code of Prohibited Books is a fact. Whose responsibility is it to protect Forbidden Knowledge? The shadows come to light in the streets of Paris, in the principality of Savoy, in Toroni, in Rome, as well as in the foundations of the newly built Tower of Lions in Thessaloniki of the Ottoman Empire.
Veria, 1970. What Evidence Leads to the Descendants of the Guardians of Knowledge? How is the murder of a teenage poet connected to the professor's dark past?
The past, far and near, evolves parallel to the present of Achilles who seeks to find redemption (if it is identified with the truth) through the shadows of his history.
