Overview

A librarian who sees what others cannot. An author with a dangerous past. And words vanishing into thin air.

Merrin Jules Banks, former English Lit professor turned reluctant librarian, considers herself a guardian of stories, even if she's failed at almost everything else. But when the written word itself begins to disappear, only she can see it happening.

Her search for answers pulls her into hidden corners of London where magic hums beneath the surface. An enigmatic author offers her a doorway into a world of ancient symbols, talking diaries, and secrets that rewrite themselves. And when Merrin crosses paths with a charismatic female stranger who seems to know more than she should, the truth behind the threat becomes terrifyingly clear.

If she can't stop the enemy, literature itself will unravel.
