Produktbeschreibung
Two strangers find themselves connected by a vast and mysterious library containing many wonders and still more secrets, in this powerfully moving first book in a new series from the international bestselling author of Red Sister and Prince of Thorns. The boy has lived his whole life trapped within a book-choked chamber older than empires and larger than cities. The girl has been plucked from the outskirts of civilization to be trained as a librarian, studying the mysteries of the great library at the heart of her kingdom. They were never supposed to meet. But in the library, they did. Their stories spiral around each other, across worlds and time. This is a tale of truth and lies and hearts, and the blurring of one into another. A journey on which knowledge erodes certainty and on which, though the pen may be mightier than the sword, blood will be spilled and cities burned.

Praise for Mark Lawrence

'An excellent writer'
George R.R. Martin, #1 SUNDAY and NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of GAME OF THRONES

'Dark and relentless...A two in the morning page turner. Jaw-dropping'
Robin Hobb, the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE

'Excellent - on par with George R.R. Martin'
Conn Iggulden, author of GENGHIS

'Mark Lawrence gets better with every book. It has a drive to it, a pulse, a gearshift that kicks higher and higher.'
Fantasy Book Review

'This tale of knowledge and its cost flies by thanks to the gripping mystery and beautiful worldbuilding...readers will be desperate for more.'
Publishers Weekly

'Lawrence works with many threads here, but none feels misused or insufficiently explored. Rather, the author unspools them masterfully, leaving behind a tightly woven tapestry that readers will ache to see finished even if they can predict one or two of the tale's myriad twists and turns. Gripping, earnest, and impeccably plotted.'
