An epic fantasy adventure through cosy, cluttered bookshops, set in the world of Sunday Times bestseller Mark Lawrence's groundbreaking The Library Trilogy.Bookshops have always been places where worlds collide. Places where ideas make war, where cultures meet and mate.Frederick 'Red' Archer is hanging on at the edge of society, in the care of the state, when he wanders into the bookshop that will change his life.Rose Penrose is watching the world from the other side of the page, exiled by an act of awful violence, and is now fleeing from story to story whilst searching for her own.The Great Smith has had a hand in both their pasts and an eye on their future. They are tools that he has fashioned for a greater purpose.Tools to be used up and discarded.All that is certain is that a story has them all in its jaws. And that it is about to bite.Praise for Mark Lawrence:'An excellent writer' George R.R. Martin 'The Library Trilogy should place Mark Lawrence's name in the same breath as other twenty-first century masters of speculative fiction' John Mauro'Mark Lawrence gets better with every book' Fantasy Book Review
