Part of The Library Trilogy by Mark Lawrence
First published 2024
Evar and Livira have always found ways back to each other, but this time the distance between them is more than physical. An unstoppable enemy drives Evar out of the only home he has ever known and into a vast, open world he has never seen. Livira is stuck somewhere worse: a ghost world, cut off from her life, hunting for the book she wrote before she can return to anything real. To get it back, she has to go inside her own stories and fight what she finds there. Meanwhile the library does what it has always done, pulling scattered people toward each other, drawing friends and enemies alike under new skies. Beneath all of this runs a lie told long ago. It has been growing ever since, and now it is close to bringing everything down. The Library Trilogy is built around one vast, ancient library, but its real subject is what books mean to the people who love them. Adventure, discovery, and romance all have a place here, and so do bookshops of every kind. This is the third book in the series.
