Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.
Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only
Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast
realm in which they rest is the Archive. Da first brought Mackenzie
Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old,
frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac
has grown into what he once was: a ruthless Keeper, tasked with
stopping often-violent Histories from waking up and getting out.
Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows
fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive.
Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous-it's a constant reminder of
those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but now that her
little brother is gone too, Mac starts to wonder about the boundary
between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the
dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately
altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can
piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and
fall.
In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals
the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and
deceit, unbearable loss and hardwon redemption.
