Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine 355 pages
Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in
every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy
allows the Library to deliver the content of the greatest works of
history instantly but the personal ownership of books is expressly
forbidden. Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the Library, but the
majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his
family, who are involved in the thriving black market. Jess has been
sent to be his family s spy, but his loyalties are tested in the final
months of his training to enter the Library s service. When he
inadvertently commits heresy by creating a device that could change the
world, Jess discovers that those who control the Great Library believe
that knowledge is more valuable than any human life and soon both
heretics and books will burn.
