Lord of the Libraries

A low-level librarian journeys in search of four hidden parts of a powerful book in this funny fantasy adventure where "fast pace, violent action . . . and leavening humor add up to a hard-to-put-down page-turner" (Booklist). In The Destruction of the Books, the Vault of All Known Knowledge was destroyed and its learned caretaker abducted, leaving the forces against darkness without resource and leadership. The world as they know it and all that is good are now threatened by the same shadows that have oppressed the continent beyond the sea. The only hope for enlightenment and salvation lies in a lowly librarian adventurer named Juhg who unknowingly brought about the cataclysm. He now must save the day by seeking out his master and another store of knowledge that has been held in secret. In doing so, Juhg will unlock the mysteries of the past so as to allow the emergence of a new guardian . . . the Lord of the Libraries. "[A] winsome Tolkienesque fantasy. . . . While the series is best read in order, readers can enjoy this third volume on its own because of Odom's fluid mastery of establishing lovable characters and interweaving prime plot points from earlier books." —Publishers Weekly
