The third book in the action-packed Forbidden Library series--for fans
of Story Thieves, Inkheart, Coraline, and Harry Potter.
For Alice, danger threatens from inside the library as well as out. Her
master and uncle, Geryon, is not the mild scholar he pretends to be, and
now Alice knows his role in the disappearance of her father. Ending--the
mysterious, magical giant feline and guardian of Geryon's library--knows
of a spell hidden inside the Palace of Glass that would allow Alice to
trap Geryon. But Ending hasn't told Alice everything. With Geryon
trapped, there's no one to stop the other Readers from sending their
apprentices to attack Geryon's library. Alice enlists the help of the
apprentices and the magical creatures imprisoned in Geryon's library,
promising them freedom from Readers altogether. She prepares to face an
impending attack from the combined might of the Readers, not knowing
who, if anyone, she can trust.
