THE GREAT LIBRARY

In this alternate world, the all-powerful Library of Alexandria censors knowledge to the masses in every city with the use of alchemy--personal ownership of books is forbidden. Jess Brightwell dabbles in illegal books on the black market. When his friend inadvertently commits heresy by creating a device that could change the world, Jess learns that the Great Library values its knowledge more than human life.

After embarking on a mission to save one of their own, Jess and his band of allies make one wrong move and suddenly find themselves hunted by the Library's deadly automata and forced to flee Alexandria, all the way to London.
