Django Wexler's third story featuring the inimitable Alice Creighton, in this fabulous fantasy series destined to become a modern classic.
For Alice, danger threatens from inside the library as well as out. Having figured out the role her master and uncle, Geryon, played in her father's disappearance, Alice turns to Ending - the mysterious, magical giant feline and guardian of Geryon's library - for a spell to incapacitate Geryon.
But, like all cats, Ending is adept at keeping secrets and Alice doesn't know the whole story. Once she traps Geryon with Ending's spell, there's no one to stop the other Readers from sending their apprentices to pillage Geryon's library.
As Alice prepares to face an impending attack from the combined might of the Readers, she gathers what forces she can - the apprentices she once thought might be her friends, the magical creatures imprisoned in Geryon's library - not knowing who, if anyone, she can trust.

Wexler is an able builder of magical worlds and creatures, with
labyrinths, an enchanted library, and a feisty, swashbuckling
heroine at the centre. A story rich in action and allegory.
