Ink and Bone
by Rachel Caine

Originally published July 2015 in hardcover.

In an exhilarating new series, New York Times
bestselling author Rachel Caine rewrites history, creating a
dangerous world where the Great Library of Alexandria has
survived the test of time.…

Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a
presence in every major city, governing the flow of
knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the Library to
deliver the content of the greatest works of history
instantly—but the personal ownership of books is
expressly forbidden.

Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the Library, but
the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books
obtained by his family. Jess has been sent to be his
family’s spy, but his loyalties are tested in the
final months of his training to enter the Library’s
service.

When his friend inadvertently commits heresy by creating a
device that could change the world, Jess discovers that
those who control the Great Library believe knowledge is
more valuable than any human life—and soon both
heretics and books will burn.…
