synopsis: In an exhilarating new series, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine rewrites history, creating a dangerous world where the Great Library of Alexandria has survived the test of time.…
Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the Library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly—but the personal ownership of books is expressly forbidden.
Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the Library, but the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his family, who are involved in the thriving black market. Jess has been sent to be his family’s spy, but his loyalties are tested in the final months of his training to enter the Library’s service.
When he inadvertently commits heresy by creating a device that could change the world, Jess discovers that those who control the Great Library believe that knowledge is more valuable than any human life—and soon both heretics and books will burn.…

I love history, especially ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt. The fact that the Great Library of Alexandria is lost to us is one of the biggest tragedies of my life. So! I'm excited for this book, which seems to take two of my favorite things to learn about and puts them together in an awesome-sounding book! I can't wait.

I've never gotten into the Morganville Vampires series, but this one definitely looks more my speed! Thank you for following!
DeleteI've been hearing a lot about this one. It sounds terrific. I'm still sad about the Library of Alexandria, so maybe this will assuage some of my misplaced grief?
