The Book That Broke the World
Two people living in a world connected by an immense and mysterious library must fight for those they love in the second book in a new trilogy from the international bestselling author of The Book That Wouldn’t Burn.
The Library spans worlds and times. It touches and joins distant places. It is memory and future. And amid its vastness Evar Eventari both found, and lost, Livira Page.
Evar has been forced to flee the library, driven before an implacable foe. Livira, trapped in a ghost world, has to recover the book she wrote—one which is the only true threat to the library’s existence—if she's to return to her life.
While Evar's journey leads him outside into a world he's never seen, Livira's path will taker her deep inside her own writing, where she must wrestle with her stories in order to reclaim the volume in which they were written.
The secret war that defines the library has chosen its champions and set them on the board. The time has come when they must fight for what they believe, or lose everything.

Mark Lawrence
Mark Lawrence writes with the kind of precision that feels almost dangerous—he has a way of drawing you into worlds where every word counts, every moment is filled with tension, and every choice carries weight. His stories, as intricate as they are brutal, weave together a raw exploration of human nature, often set against landscapes both bleak and beautiful. Readers step into his books not just to follow a plot, but to feel something profound shift inside them.
Born in the UK, Lawrence's early life wasn’t shaped by fantasy novels or fairy-tale heroes. Instead, he grew up with a love for the real and the gritty, which led him to study mathematics and work in the world of technology. His transition to writing wasn’t immediate, but it was inevitable. After years spent in the heart of logic and numbers, Lawrence's creative side finally broke free, channeling his sharp mind into dark, poignant tales that capture the nuances of struggle, survival, and self-doubt.
