““The Library...” Something about her voice must have been odd, the way Brevity cut off mid-argument to turn to her. The quiet eddied around the table, but Claire didn’t care. The thought took shape, and then the thought grew teeth, and her voice was a frosted edge. “This was never a library. What do you think makes a library? A room full of books? A coincidental accumulation of shelves and paper? We were never a library...””
Today the cover of the final book in the Hell’s Library trilogy, THE GOD OF LOST WORDS, was revealed on The Nerd Daily. And y’all, I’m so excited to share it. Look and then go grab your pre-order!
Where were you, when the Library fell?
To save the Library of the Unwritten in Hell, former librarian Claire and her allies may have to destroy it first.
Claire, the rakish Hero, the angel Rami, and the muse turned librarian Brevity have accomplished the impossible by discovering the true nature of unwritten books. But now that the secret is out, Hell will be coming for every wing of the library in its quest for power.
To protect the Unwritten Wing and stave off the insidious reach of Malphas, one of Hell’s most bloodthirsty generals, Claire and her friends will have to decide how much they’re willing to sacrifice to keep their vulnerable corner of the afterlife. Succeeding would mean rewriting the nature of the library, but losing would mean obliteration. Their only chance at survival lies in outwitting Hell and writing a new chapter for the Library. Luckily, Claire and her friends know how the right story, told well, can become a revolution.
I wrote quite a bit of THE GOD OF LOST WORDS during the beginning of the pandemic, when it felt like the world was at some kind of end and I had to find my own fire and make my own hope. I think that translates into the story. This is the end of Claire and the gang’s story, but it’s not the end of our stories. Not if we don’t let it.
I can’t wait to share this final book of Hell’s Library with all of you. I hope the journey’s meant as much to you as it has to me.
THE GOD OF LOST WORDS is out November 2, 2021. A mere seven months away! Pre-order your copy at your favorite book seller! In the mean time, there’s simply a question:
““...A library is an integral part of the community it serves. A library is for the needs of people, not librarians. A library changes to meet the needs of those who depend on it. We were never a library! Where were our predecessors when Poppaea fought and lost? Where were you when the Unsaid Wing sought sanctuary? Where were any of you when the books of the Unwritten Wing burned?”
