Synopsis
A librarian finds herself travelling between worlds, discovering libraries she'd never imagined possible. But each is threatened in some way or another, by forces natural or divine. She will have to understand the threats before she can save the libraries and find out what (or who) has been pushing her along.
Dr. Sam Beckett meets Agent Olivia Dunham. In the library. With the candlestick.
Excerpt
“So you don’t necessarily believe that Hesvasius is your father,” Anouk said.
Matias shrugged. “I don’t necessarily not believe.”
“Why not ask your mom?”
“She’s dead.”
“Sorry. Aunts, uncles?”
“No. Why the interest in Hesvasius’ writings, anyway? Most people don’t want to speak his name.”
“Is he like Voldemort in this world?”
“I don’t know what Voldemort is, but Hesvasius is certainly not well loved. He’s very likely the cause of the current predicament with written language. No one wants to be associated with the person who destroyed all records on Earth.”
“Excuse me,” said Anouk, ‘But did you just say you didn’t know who Voldemort was? Wow. This is a messed-up world.”
