About the Book

Ancient wonder. A seductive rival. A discovery to die for.

Darwin Lacroix drops everything—including his fiancée, Eyrún—to pursue a new lead on the lost Library of Alexandria. The trail begins in Rome, but it belongs to Tessa Santarossa—a brilliant Italian operator who plays by her own rules and never shows her full hand.

What starts as a promising discovery turns into a dangerous race across a two-thousand-year-old path. Armed militants want the truth buried, and Tessa’s agenda is as elusive as the prize itself. Eyrún sees the threat immediately—and when the hunt turns violent, suspicion gives way to confrontation.

As the search deepens, so do the risks. Betrayals surface. Alliances fracture. Darwin is forced to decide who he can trust before the wrong hands reach a discovery that could alter the understanding of history itself.

Finding the lost archive could define Darwin’s career…or destroy everything he’s built.

Lost Library is the second novel in the Darwin Lacroix Adventures—high-stakes archaeological thrillers where ancient discoveries ignite modern conflicts, and the truth is never left buried.
