All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has
known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer's Great
Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of
sorcery-magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle
beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque
monsters of ink and leather. Then an act of sabotage releases the
library's most dangerous grimoire, and Elisabeth is implicated in
the crime. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer
Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds
herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the
Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them. As
her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to
question everything she's been taught-about sorcerers, about the
libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power
she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.
The heir apparent to Diana Wynne Jones, no one can match Rogerson's
dark whimsy or joyous magic. This book is sheer delight."Jessica
Cluess, author of the Kingdom on Fire trilogy

Came in great condition. Sometimes with books the handling can be quite rough, but there was no damage, which did not occur here. I can't wait to add this one to my shelf.
