A library spanning worlds and times

The second volume in a trilogy, The Book That Broke the World returns to the immense Library that links distant places and eras. Evar Eventari has been driven beyond its boundaries, while Livira Page is trapped in a ghost world and must recover the book she wrote. Their separate quests connect the Library’s larger conflict to a question of authorship: Livira must contend with her own stories to reclaim the volume, which the description identifies as a threat to the Library itself. Epic fantasy elements meet a setting built around memory, books, and crossings between worlds.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers following the trilogy begun with The Book That Wouldn't Burn.
  • For fans of epic fantasy involving vast libraries and connections between worlds.
  • For readers interested in stories that make writing and books part of the central conflict.

Book overview

Two people living in a world connected by an immense and mysterious library must fight for those they love in the second book in a new trilogy from the international bestselling author of The Book That Wouldn't Burn.

The Library spans worlds and times. It touches and joins distant places. It is memory and future. And amid its vastness Evar Eventari both found, and lost, Livira Page.

Evar has been forced to flee the library, driven before an implacable foe. Livira, trapped in a ghost world, has to recover the book she wrote--one which is the only true threat to the library's existence--if she's to return to her life.

While Evar's journey leads him outside into a world he's never seen, Livira's path will taker her deep inside her own writing, where she must wrestle with her stories in order to reclaim the volume in which they were written.

The secret war that defines the library has chosen its champions and set them on the board. The time has come when they must fight for what they believe, or lose everything.
