Your friend left a message today: Come at nine. I'll leave the side door unlocked. Take as long as you like. It is a clear winter night, cold and still, and a side door to an old library opens at your touch. Inside, small amber lamps line the corridors. The air smells of old paper and beeswax. A wooden staircase, worn smooth by a century of feet, spirals upward toward the sound of a ticking clock and the faint trace of woodsmoke. At the top, a private reading room is waiting.

Francie Vespertine has lived all her life in a supernatural town full of powerful witches, but her own magic is lackluster at best. The only place she fits in is the Magical Archives. Head librarian (and bookworm extraordinaire) might be a boring job . . . if it wasn't for the ghosts of fictional characters haunting the shelves.

Now, it's not only the weight of her world on her shoulders—Quinn must connect with the library system before the universe itself disintegrates. Once she's settled, it should be quiet, peaceful work—just as soon as she battles a few engorged bookworms, repairs hundreds of years of damage, and figures out why there's been no librarian for the last several centuries.
