The Rose in the Clockwork Library (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

A tale of books, dragons, and a little bit of magic.

Welcome to Daiwynn where magic is dangerous, but hope is more dangerous still.

After years in labor camp 9C, Rose is finding it hard to settle into a life of freedom. With the constant threat of MOTHER and the Uprising behind them, she and the crew of The Duchess are forced to flee to the Wastes in search of safety and answers.

But when their search for answers leads them to the Great Library, Rose comes face to face the library's keeper and she has a choice to make. Swallow her pride to save the crew or lose the first potential family she's had in years.

Kindle-the keeper of the Great Library-has found a purpose and a home in the library for most of her life, but over the years her magic and the library have both begun to crumble.

With the library collapsing more quickly, Kindle is desperate for a solution to save her home. So, when the crew of the Duchess arrives at the library, she'll do anything she can to force them to help her.

All of the knowledge of Daiwynn is on the line, and it's really going to come down to one question for both Rose and Kindle, "should I stay or should I go?"

The unique characters, witty dialogue, and fantasy-meets-steampunk world make this fresh take on classic fairy tales a must read for fans of Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles, and Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series.
