"Paper and Fire" is the second book in the world-popular fantasy series “The Great Library” by Rachel Cain. A continuation of the novel “Ink and Bone.”
For the highest good, the Great Library governs cities across the world and controls access to knowledge. But Jess Brightwell suspects what terrible secrets the Library holds—where books matter more than human life. After he became a soldier of the Library’s elite squad, Jess’s life changed. His beloved Morgan is locked in the Iron Tower, and his best friend Thomas dies. By chance Jess learns that Thomas might still be alive. To find and save him, Jess must make a difficult choice between family, new friends, and a Library willing to sacrifice anything for total control over the world.
