Part of The Library Trilogy by Mark Lawrence
First published 2025
Livira has run out of time. The people she loves most are scattered across time and space, split into factions, and some are in mortal danger. At the center of everything sits a single book, one that carries the power to shatter what was supposed to be unbreakable. The Library's secret war has been building toward this, and now the board is set and the players are in motion. Evar is out there somewhere. The bond between Livira and Evar has been pulled thin across distance and years, and this is the moment it will either hold or snap. She has to find a way to gather the people she needs, settle an argument that has no clean answer, and stop a conflict that has consumed an infinite space full of human knowledge. This is the third and final book in Mark Lawrence's Library Trilogy. Nobody gets out clean. Not Livira, not the Library, and Lawrence has said plainly that the reader won't either. Everything that was built across the first two books comes down to this last page.
