The Book That Wouldn't Burn
The Library Trilogy · Book 1Description
In a wasteland ravaged by heat, violence, and wolf-like sabbers, refugee Livira Page discovers an ancient, seemingly endless library containing the lost knowledge of a vanished age. Far away—and across the boundaries of time—Evar encounters the same mysterious institution, drawing the two young outsiders into a connection that could reshape their understanding of history, power, and one another. As rival societies, buried prejudices, and dangerous forces converge around the library, they must determine whether knowledge will become humanity’s salvation or its most destructive weapon. Blending high fantasy with science-fictional ideas, the novel is an ambitious meditation on memory, technology, oppression, and the people who control the stories a civilization chooses to preserve.
