Hardcover
$30.00
Published on Oct 20, 2026 | 224 Pages
A fantasy adventure through cozy, cluttered bookshops and into the pages of classic literature itself, set in the world of international bestselling author Mark Lawrence’s groundbreaking The Library Trilogy.
Bookshops have always been places where worlds collide. Places where ideas make war, where cultures meet and mingle. For Frederick “Red” Archer, a young man hanging on at the edge of society, a bookshop he wanders into will be the place that changes his life.
Rose Penrose is watching the world from the other side of the page, transported by an act of awful violence into a book her mother wrote. When a terrifying pursuer has Rose cornered, she is somehow able to leap from the book she inhabits into another—one that happens to be in the very bookshop where Red is standing.
Set in the world of Mark Lawrence’s groundbreaking Library Trilogy, this fantasy adventure winds through the stacks of beloved bookshops and into the pages of classic literature itself.
