Nella tumultuosa Barcellona degli anni Venti, il giovane David Martín cova un sogno, inconfessabile quanto universale: diventare uno scrittore. Quando la sorte inaspettatamente gli offre l'occasione di pubblicare un suo racconto, il successo comincia infine ad arridergli. È proprio da quel momento tuttavia che la sua vita inizierà a porgli interrogativi ai quali non ha immediata risposta, esponendolo come mai prima di allora a imprevedibili azzardi e travolgenti passioni, crimini efferati e sentimenti assoluti.

Barcellona, fine anni '50. Daniel Sempere non è più il ragazzino che abbiamo conosciuto tra i cunicoli del "Cimitero dei Libri Dimenticati", alla scoperta del volume che gli avrebbe cambiato la vita. Il mistero della morte di sua madre Isabella ha aperto una voragine nella sua anima, un abisso dal quale la moglie Bea e il fedele amico Fermín stanno cercando di salvarlo.

A Barcellona una mattina d'estate del 1945 il proprietario di un negozio di libri usati conduce il figlio undicenne, Daniel, al Cimitero dei Libri Dimenticati, un luogo segreto dove vengono sottratti all'oblio migliaia di volumi di cui il tempo ha cancellato il ricordo. E qui Daniel entra in possesso di un libro "maledetto" che cambierà il corso della sua vita. Perché dal passato iniziano a emergere storie di passioni illecite, di amori impossibili, di amicizie e lealtà assolute, di follia omicida, e un macabro segreto custodito in una villa abbandonata.
