In Tenebris: Es kennt deinen Namen
A summer in Umbria turns deadly when two boys disturb an ancient cemetery.
The narrative centers on Alex and Kilian, whose friendship is tested by a discovery that defies explanation. As they explore the overgrown grounds, the boundary between their mundane lives and the supernatural world dissolves.

Set in Umbria during a summer season, the book utilizes the region's history of old cemeteries and rural isolation.
