The Book That Wouldn’t Burn Book 1 of The Library Trilogy | By Mark Lawrence

A MASTERPIECE OF EPIC FANTASY WHERE STORIES OUTLIVE EMPIRES.

What if a library was so vast it held the secrets of every world, across every timeline? What if the books inside were the only things that truly lasted? From the internationally bestselling author of Prince of Thorns comes The Book That Wouldn’t Burn, the spectacular opening chapter to a groundbreaking new series.

The story follows two souls living on opposite ends of existence: Evar, a young man who has spent his entire life trapped within the infinite corridors of a legendary, world-spanning library; and Livira, a girl from a harsh, nightmare-plagued settlement on the Dust. Though they exist in different worlds, their fates are destined to collide. As they begin to uncover the truths hidden in the stacks and the lies told by history, they realize that in this war of truth, hearts, and ink, blood will be spilled and cities will burn.
