From the New York Times bestselling author of The Night Circus a timeless love story set in a secret underground world-a place of pirates painters lovers liars and ships that sail upon a starless sea. Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners key collectors and nameless acolytes he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded Zachary uncovers a series of clues-a bee a key and a sword-that lead him to a masquerade party in New York to a secret club and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians-it is a place of lost cities and seas lovers who pass notes under doors and across time and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive and also of those who are intent on its destruction. Together with Mirabel a fierce pink-haired protector of the place and Dorian a handsome barefoot man with shifting alliances Zachary travels the twisting tunnels darkened stairwells crowded ballrooms and sweetly soaked shores of this magical world discovering his purpose-in both the mysterious book and in his own life.
