“Absolutely fantastic—I couldn't put this book down! A stunning, absorbing, and timely tale about a wondrous library, magical beasts, and a conwoman with both everything and nothing to lose. I loved it! ” —Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
Kasira used to be a masterful con artist: choosing her target, building trust, judging the precise moment to make her move. Now, she’s working off a lengthy prison sentence by hunting dangerous magical creatures on behalf of the fanatical kingdom of Kalthos.
But Kasira’s past catches up to her when the ambassador from Kalthos arrives at her camp with a deal: her freedom in exchange for infiltrating and destabilizing the magical institution meant to protect all six kingdoms—the Library of Amorlin.
When Kasira assumes the role of the new Assistant Librarian, she enters an enchanting world brimming with books and beasts, tempting her with a life she can never have. But Kasira’s real future depends on her long con to bring down the Librarian. Unfortunately, Allaster is as prickly as he is handsome, and his monstrous secrets are about to catch up with them both . . .

The Age of Beasts
In a world where knowledge is power and monsters guard its gates, The Age of Beasts opens the doors to a library unlike any other. Hidden deep within the six kingdoms, the Library of Amorlin protects the world’s most dangerous secrets and the creatures born from them.
The story begins with Kasira, a con artist forced into a deadly bargain: infiltrate the Library and destroy it from within, or spend the rest of her life in chains. But what begins as a calculated deception twists into something far more perilous when she uncovers the truth behind the Library’s walls. Here, knowledge breathes, monsters remember, and every book hungers for something of its own.
The Age of Beasts consists of one book and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
