The Great Library of Alexandria has survived the test of time and is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. People are forbidden to own books, and those found in possession of one are harshly punished. Jess is part of a family of black market book traders, and is sent to train at the Great Library as a spy. However, he soon uncovers the dark secrets behind the Great Library. What nefarious schemes are planned by this all-controlling power for the people of the world? ‘Ink and Bone’ is a suspenseful read with masterful world-building and characters with depth. It’s interesting to see how the world has unfolded with the survival of the Great Library of Alexandria – is the knowledge worth the sinister control the library exerts over the populace, though?
