Librarian-spy Irene is working undercover in an alternative London when her assistant Kai goes missing. She discovers he's been kidnapped by the fae faction and the repercussions could be fatal. Not just for Kai, but for whole worlds.

Kai's dragon heritage means he has powerful allies, but also powerful enemies in the form of the fae. With this act of aggression, the fae are determined to trigger a war between their people – and the forces of order and chaos themselves.

Irene's mission to save Kai and avert Armageddon will take her to a dark, alternate Venice where it's always Carnival. Here Irene will be forced to blackmail, fast talk, and fight. Or face death.

A madcap romp through Venice

4 estrellas

In this second instalment of the Invisible Library series, Librarian Irene is installed in a Victorian London with her apprentice Kai. When Kai is kidnapped, Irene has to travel to Venice in a Fae-dominated world, where it's permanently Carnival. Irene must rescue Kai to prevent a war, but doing so will violate the Library rules. The result is a slightly chaotic romp through Venice, as Irene seeks to outwit the kidnappers and the many obstacles they place in her path. We learn more about the nature of the Fae and of the Dragons, but as Irene is acting outside of her role as a Librarian, this episode is far less focused on books.
