Left for dead as an infant on the steps of the Grand Library, Elira survived only because a single archivist took pity on her. Prohibited to leave, the library became both her sanctuary and her cage. But when she discovers a forbidden book hidden deep within, she uncovers a truth that was meant to stay buried.
When she speaks a name that should have been forgotten, she summons a god never meant to return. Nyxar is dangerous, alluring, and far too amused by the quiet scribe who pulled him from the void. Though much of his memory has been stolen from him, he knows this: the Grand Library is not an institution of knowledge. It is a machine of control, ruled by the Archkeeper, a man who will do anything to keep the truth hidden.
Sent beyond the library's walls for the first time, Elira and Nyxar find themselves tangled in erased memories, forbidden truths, and a connection neither of them can escape.
With the Archkeeper watching and enemies closing in, Elira must choose. Will she keep playing by the rules of those who would see her forgotten? Or will she dismantle the very world she calls home?
