Synopsis

An action-packed literary adventure! The Burning Page is the third title in Genevieve Cogman's clever and exciting The Invisible Library series.

'Skulduggery, Librarians, and Dragons – Cogman keeps upping the ante on this delightful series!' – Charles Stross, author of The Laundry Files


When it's your job to save the day – where do you start?

Librarian spy Irene has standards to maintain, especially while on probation. And absconding from a mission via a besieged building doesn't look good. But when her escape route home goes up in flames, what's a spy to do?

Even worse, it seems Gates back to the Library are malfunctioning across dozens of worlds and Irene's nemesis Alberich is responsible – with plans to annihilate the Library itself.

Irene and assistant Kai are posted to St Petersburg, to help combat this threat. Here Alberich emerges, as Irene tries to save her friend Vale and foil assassination attempts. Then one incredibly dangerous opportunity to save the Library emerges. Saving herself would be a bonus . . .

Irene's adventures feature stolen books, secret agents and forbidden societies – think Doctor Who but with librarian spies!

Continue the bookish magic with The Lost Plot, the fourth entry in The Invisible Library series from Genevieve Cogman, the bestselling author of Scarlet.

Brilliant and so much fun. Skulduggery, Librarians, and Dragons – Cogman keeps upping the ante on this delightful series!
