"Vita and Kiko: Shadows of the Past"

In Book Two, Vita and Kiko's magical journey continues - but now, they know: Mortem is growing stronger. He's gaining control over more and more creatures using fear, hypnosis, and manipulation. Searching for answers, Vita encounters animals - some hiding from the darkness, others already caught in its grasp.
She begins to understand her gift: the ability to awaken those trapped in Mortem's sleep. But this power is still difficult to control. As secrets of Kiko's past and the fate of his family are revealed, Vita must make a choice - to keep going, even when fear surrounds her.
Set against the backdrop of a mysterious horse stable with a cozy restaurant, a journey to Belgrade along poppy-lined roads, and the arrival of two Maltese puppies gifted by a neighbor, Vita learns to see beyond illusions, trust herself - and draw her adventures, turning every discovery into a story.
