The Library of Stars - Summer 2027

Amid the smoke, silk and swing of 1950’s London, a star-born library appears from nowhere. Seraphine Finch is both its keeper and its prisoner.

Seraphine has spent her life helping people, whether she wanted to or not. When her parents die suddenly, she becomes the sole heir to Archimedes - a shifting library that calls to those in emotional despair. But while Archimedes cures others, it devours Seraphine, draining her life force each time she helps someone. 

After discovering a hidden letter revealing her parents’ deaths were no accident, Seraphine realises Archimedes is far more powerful, and far more dangerous, than she ever knew. A covert organisation is closing in, determined to weaponise the library’s magic to engineer a perfect society - one without poverty, war or crime - at the cost of memory and free will.

Now, her only chance at freedom, and to protect the library’s power, is to pass three trials to determine her worthiness of it. 

And into the chaos walks the handsome yet haunted Sebastian Ellerbrook, with a past laced with guilt and a smile Seraphine doesn’t trust.

As danger approaches through the London smog, Seraphine must decide: uphold her legacy and protect the magic from corruption…or break free, and risk everything - the library, her heart and those she’s come to love - to finally write her own story.
