Alix learned from her barren childhood in foster care that, unlike people, books will never let you down. Working three dead-end jobs to make ends meet, she takes nightly refuge in the reading room at the Boston Public Library. Until she stumbles through a hidden door and meets the Librarian: the ageless guardian of a secret library where the desperate and lost escape to new lives...inside their favorite books. Before she can escape into the pages of her new life, a shadowy enemy emerges to threaten everyone the Astral Library has ever helped protect. But who does their enemy really wish to destroy—Alix, the Librarian, or the Library itself?
