Hugo winner Jim C. Hines's hilarious and clever Magic ex Libris
series, where books come alive and libriomancer Isaac Vainio combats
magical threats that spring from the page
"Superior worldbuilding." --Charlaine Harris - "Really, really
clever." --Patrick Rothfuss - "Magic librarian and ass-kicking
dryad adventure story we've all been waiting for." --Seanan McGuire
When Isaac Vainio helped to reveal magic to the world, he dreamed of a
utopian future, a new millennium of magical prosperity. One year later,
things aren't going quite as he'd hoped.
An organization known as Vanguard, made up of magical creatures and
ex-Porters, wants open war with the mundane world. Isaac's own
government is incarcerating "potential supernatural enemies" in prisons
and internment camps. And Isaac finds himself targeted by all sides.
It's a war that will soon envelop the world, and the key to victory may
lie with Isaac himself, as he struggles to incorporate everything he's
learned into a new, more powerful form of libriomancy. Surrounded by
betrayal and political intrigue, Isaac and a ragtag group of allies must
evade pursuit both magical and mundane, expose a conspiracy by some of
the most powerful people in the world, and find a path to a better
future.
But what will that futures cost Isaac and the ones he loves?
