About this book
Summary
Arthur, a quiet archivist, inherits a mysterious stone cottage only to find it is a trap designed to claim his life. He discovers a magical black book that records his every move and predicts his death as a sacrifice to a shadow creature called the Collector, who protects the library in exchange for a librarian's soul every fifty years. To save himself, Arthur finds a hidden room of mirrors containing unwritten secrets that the ink-based creature cannot see, allowing him to void his death sentence. However, he is soon confronted by a global guild of shadows that demands a new soul to settle the debt. Alongside a researcher named Clara, Arthur uses pure water to dissolve the magical silver ink of the guild, releasing thousands of trapped spirits and destroying the dark contracts forever. Arthur chooses to stay as the librarian, but he opens the doors to the world, proving that no one's future is set in stone and that everyone has the power to write their own ending.Book information
