<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In the second installment of this richly imagined fantasy adventure series, a new threat from within the Library itself could destroy those within it. The Library of the Unwritten in Hell was saved from total devastation, but hundreds of potential books were destroyed, and the dreams that were held within them will never be realized. When the remnants of those books begin to leak a strange ink, and damsels keep disappearing and reappearing in the Arcane Wing, former librarian Claire realizes that the challenges within the Library have only just begun. Claire and Brevity the muse are immediately at odds concerning how to treat the ink, but the power that it presents has not gone unnoticed. Verity, a representative from the Muses Corps, arrives at the Library to advise Brevity on what to do with the ink, while Claire and the angel Rami hunt for a lost companion. Brevity will have to decide where her allegiances lie, and that choice will have the potential to remake the Library itself"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In the second installment of this richly imagined fantasy adventure series, a new threat from within the Library could destroy those who depend upon it the most.</b> <p/> The Library of the Unwritten in Hell was saved from total devastation, but hundreds of potential books were destroyed. Former librarian Claire and Brevity the muse feel the loss of those stories, and are trying to adjust to their new roles within the Arcane Wing and Library, respectively. But when the remains of those books begin to leak a strange ink, Claire realizes that the Library has kept secrets from Hell--and from its own librarians. <p/> Claire and Brevity are immediately at odds in their approach to the ink, and the potential power that it represents has not gone unnoticed. When a representative from the Muses Corps arrives at the Library to advise Brevity, the angel Rami and the erstwhile Hero hunt for answers in other realms. The true nature of the ink could fundamentally alter the afterlife for good or ill, but it entirely depends on who is left to hold the pen.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Hackwith literally brings books to life with her layered prose, emotional scenes, slow burns, and powerful connections among found family members.--<i>Library Journal</i> (starred review) <p/>"This book pulls apart what a book is, what a book could be, and gets to the soul of what it means to tell a story, all while delivering queer chemistry and intricate worldbuilding."--<i>Booklist</i> (starred review) <p/>Powerhouse fantasy...Writing in stirring prose, Hackwith imbues her high-concept, metafictional tale with color, action, and high-flying emotion.
