"Isoka, an eighteen-year-old ward boss in the great port city, Kahnzoka, is sent on an impossible mission to steal Soliton, a legendary ghost ship, or her sister will be killed"--Provided by publisher.

"After defeating her Uncle Geryon, Alice faces the collective might of all the Old Readers and, in order to save the magic creatures she promised to help, must go on a quest to find a force strong enough to overturn the Old Readers once and for all"--Provided by publisher.

Alice has been working as an apprentice Reader for her uncle Geryon. But after learning of her uncle's role in her father's disappearance, Alice is bent on revenge, no matter the cost. But avenging her father will require Alice to go into dark places few have ever returned from. And though her journey is dangerous, she is determined to bravely make it.

"Alice and five other apprentice Readers face the fight of their lives when they are sent into the magical library of a late rival Reader--a library that's still protected by a vicious guardian"--Provided by publisher.

When Alice's mysterious Uncle Geryon sends her to help capture a rogue apprentice, a boy who has the same ability Alice has to Read himself 'into' stories, she knows to expect a wild and unpredictable trip. But even though Alice has visited the magical realms inside libraries before, this adventure is far more dangerous. Because Torment, the magic creature holding 'this' library together, has gone mad. But he might also have information about Alice's missing father.

When her father is lost at sea shortly after meeting a very unusual visitor, Alice must leave her home to live with an "uncle" whose rural Pennsylvania estate includes a massive and mysterious library that holds much more than books.
