Within the walls of a centuries-old building lies the magical
Library of Illumination where books literally come to life. What
makes this library even more unusual are the two teenagers chosen
to oversee its operation. Johanna Charette and Jackson Roth must
use their wits to deal with the sometimes humorous, sometimes
dangerous situations that arise when enchanted books spring to
life. As the teens learn about the library, themselves, and each
other, their fates become intertwined, and when they stumble upon a
scheme by someone in a distant realm to take control of all
knowledge in the universe, Johanna and Jackson are forced to put
their lives on the line to battle an ancient foe.
In the enchanted Library of Illumination-where books literally come
to life-curator Johanna Charette and her assistant Jackson Roth
discover a window to "nowhere." Jackson is convinced some sort of
treasure is hidden behind it. Instead, the teens stumble upon a
portal that whisks them to a library, similar to their own, yet
very different. Their impromptu breach of the ancient portal system
sets a series of events in motion that take the teens to distant
realms, and they learn a wealth of information about the history of
the Libraries of Illumination. However, Jackson's natural curiosity
results in severe repercussions for Johanna, after she is forced to
a destroy a precious artifact when Jackson is taken prisoner by an
unfriendly being. She's sentenced to serve time on that hostile
world, and uncovers a scheme to take control of all knowledge in
the universe. In the blink of an eye, the teens find they must put
their lives on the line-in a battle against an ancient foe.
Victoria Melies is one of the most beautiful women living in
postwar Europe. She lives a life of privilege, and few people
suspect that she works as a spy for MI6 under the code name:
Evangeline. On her way to the Nuremburg Trials, an assassin's
bullet finds her before she can testify. She's immediately
transported to the Pearly Gates where Saint Peter insists on
calling her by her code name and assigns her to an eternity in
Purgatory. But that just won't do for the elegant operative, who
demands that she be allowed to avenge her untimely death.
Evangeline soon finds herself in New York City, where she is
incensed to see her old nemesis, Bunny Stanton, is alive and
kicking and masquerading as a British peer. The spectral spy
believes Bunny is involved in a plot to assassinate Harry S. Truman
and tries to protect the American president. However, Evangeline
quickly discovers being a ghost has its limitations, and an
afterlife handbook filled with regulations could land Evangeline on
the road to hell because of her good intentions.
