Volume 2: The Secret History

Inspired by Donna Tartt’s debut novel The Secret History, PETAL’s second volume ventures into a world of shadows and secrets. Rooted in classic literature, gothic motifs, and the mythic grandeur of ancient mythology, it unravels tales of murder, occult ritual, and the intoxicating allure of the elite. Interwoven with threads of fantasy, dark academia, art history, and the tradition of storytelling, Volume 2 becomes a study in obsession, beauty, and the perilous seduction of knowledge pursued at any cost.
