The house had been in her family for generations, and yet, until today, she had never known this existed. It was her grandmother's death that had brought her back, and when she went through her belongings, she found a hidden door behind a bookshelf in her study. It opened into a secret library.

The room was filled with books in languages she didn't recognize. The air itself seemed to vibrate with untold stories. She reached out and touched the spine of a book, her fingertips tracing the faded gold lettering. It was like going back in time.
