About this ebook

Eighteen-year-old Anik works in India’s magical Library, where ancient books come to life and whisper their secrets. It’s a dangerous job, since Anik possesses hidden magic forbidden to his caste. If Anik’s magic is discovered, a witch known as the Dayan will remove his powers—and his soul, a fate that soon befalls his master, the Librarian.

Though horrified by this injustice, Anik accepts the position of Librarian in his master’s stead, working for the ruthless maharaja who owns the Library. For the first time, he meets the maharaja’s twins, Nyan and Ishana. They are different as night and day. Nyan is quiet and mysterious; Ishana bold and provocative. Gifted in the magical arts, the twins intend to participate in the Night of Wonders, competing with thousands of enchanters from all across India. To reach the competition, Anik must accompany the Library hundreds of miles through a haunted jungle full of unseen threats. He knows the danger of drawing attention to himself, but the more time he spends with Ishana, the more he falls in love with her.

Forbidden romance becomes the least of Anik’s problems when a dark presence arises in their midst; a creature hated and feared among the enchanters. As the Night of Wonders turns to a night of terrors, the fate of the Library itself hangs in the balance...

Charity Bishop

Charity Bishop is funny, quirky, analytical, a little sentimental, and occasionally forgetful, with an offbeat sense of humor, a tendency to like sci-fi, and a storehouse of knowledge about “useless trivia.” She gets fixated on learning things, and obsesses over them until she knows everything there is to know about them, then looks for something new to learn. She gets bored with “same-ness,” but is good at impartiality and seeing both sides in an argument. In fact, she’s likely to argue both sides for the sheer fun of it.She grew up in the church and was saved at a young age, but re-evaluated and re-dedicated her life to Christ three years ago. Since then, God has encouraged her to trust Him with her life and future – which sometimes is an uphill battle for a stubborn girl. As she struggles with understanding His ways along with her characters, He gently reveals the answers. He’s her co-author, both in the stories she tells and in her very own story.Her day job is a magazine editor, and her hobbies (other than writing books) include over-analyzing everything she comes into contact with, vigorously defending various incarnations of Sherlock Holmes against perceived injustices, irritating her friends with theological musings, and MBTI typing fictional characters.
