A hidden history beneath the library

Sophie Sage’s routine at the library changes when she encounters Jada Tamsin, an invisible member of the Unseen, an ancient people with special talents. In tunnels below the children’s section, Jada keeps books and records the history of her people. Their friendship connects Sophie to a concealed world—and to a conflict involving Jada’s sister Lilith, the Master of the Sword, whose attempt to remake reality threatens what they have found. The library setting links Sophie’s familiar search for her next Henrietta Holt book with a fantasy built around hidden communities, recorded history, and the power to reshape reality.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in library-centered fantasy.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about friendship and hidden worlds.
  • Readers interested in fantasy with Christian subject classification.

Book overview

Sophie Sage is lonely... and her weekly homeschool group at the library never changes that. When classes are over, she roams the children's section by herself looking for the next Henrietta Holt book. Until one day, she meets a woman who is invisible.

 

Jada Tamsin, Master of the Books, is one of the Unseen: an ancient people with special talents who are invisible to most. In the secret tunnels beneath the library, she lives surrounded by her books and records the history of her people.

 

But as Sophie and Jada begin their peculiar friendship, everything is threatened when Lilith-Jada's sister and the Master of The Sword-tries to remake the very fabric of reality itself.
