Sometimes, the most dangerous books aren't the ones that contain dark magic or forbidden knowledge, but the ones that simply tell the truth about who we really are.
Before her journal entries started predicting actual murders, Virginia Varnell just wanted to be left alone with her books, her sarcasm, and her disturbingly detailed death scenarios. But when a rare manuscript vanishes from the library’s locked archive—and someone starts leaving cryptic notes signed The Curator—V is reluctantly pulled into a mystery involving petty town rivalries, redacted histories, and a long-buried scandal tied to Ravenswood’s founding families.
Things take a darker turn when a local conspiracy theorist is found dead in a mountain of library ledgers—eerily mimicking a scene from V’s own journal.
Now, V must shelve her cynicism and follow a trail of bookplates, blackmail, and literary clues before someone decides her obituary would look better in footnotes.
