The Archived by Victoria Schwab 321 pages
Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each
body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians
can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which
they rest is the Archive. Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four
years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to
prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was: a
ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often-violent Histories from
waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people
she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying
alive.
Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous—it's a constant
reminder of those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but now that
her little brother is gone too, Mac starts to wonder about the boundary
between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead
must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering
Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together
what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.
