Lizzie is a twenty-seven-year-old librarian who prefers the company of books to people. But her quiet life in the municipal archives takes a chaotic turn when she falls off a ladder and wakes up in the magical realm of Aetheria. Staring into the striking green eyes of Faelan Valerius, a disgraced high-elf scout, Lizzie discovers she hasn't just traveled to another world—she's accidentally bonded her soul to the Great Ledger of Shadows. In a land where magic is being siphoned by the corrupt High Chancellor Malakor Vane, Lizzie’s mundane organizational skills become the ultimate weapon. Alongside a cynical smuggler and a tiny dragon who treats filing like a sacred art, Lizzie must learn to 'de-catalog' her enemy's stolen spells before the portals between worlds are sealed forever. As she and Faelan navigate obsidian deserts and floating forests, a forbidden romance ignites between the mortal librarian and the immortal elf. But when the time comes to choose between her cozy library desk and the role of Aetheria’s Guardian of History, Lizzie must decide if her heart belongs in the world she knew or the one she was meant to save. From author Catherine Laszewski comes a charming portal fantasy filled with wit, wonder, and the power of a well-organized shelf.
