"Collecting books can be a dangerous prospect in this fun, time-traveling, fantasy adventure from a spectacular debut author. One thing any Librarian will tell you: the truth is much stranger than fic tion... Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, a shadowy organization that collects important works of fiction from all of the different realities. Most recently, she and her enigmati c assistant Kai have been sent to an alternative London. Their mission: Retrieve a particularly dang erous book. The problem: By the time they arrive, it's already been stolen. London's underground fac tions are prepared to fight to the death to find the tome before Irene and Kai do, a problem compoun ded by the fact that this world is chaos-infested--the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural cre atures and unpredictable magic to run rampant. To make matters worse, Kai is hiding something--secre ts that could be just as volatile as the chaos-filled world itself. Now Irene is caught in a puzzlin g web of deadly danger, conflicting clues, and sinister secret societies. And failure is not an opti on--because it isn't just Irene's reputation at stake, it's the nature of reality itself.."--
