Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket and illustrations by Gemma Lewis, Richard Merrit et al (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, some minuscule yellowing to page block with stencil designs of key, bee and sword on page fore edges, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£16.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 499pp, illustrated endpapers. Are you lost or are you exploring? When Zachary Rawlins stumbles across a strange book hidden in his university library it leads him on a quest unlike any other. Its pages entrance him with their tales of lovelorn prisoners, lost cities and nameless acolytes, but they also contain something impossible, a recollection from his own childhood. Determined to solve the puzzle of the book, Zachary follows the clues he finds on the cover, a bee, a key and a sword. They guide him to a masquerade ball, to a dangerous secret club, and finally through a magical doorway created by the fierce and mysterious Mirabel. This door leads to a subterranean labyrinth filled with stories, hidden far beneath the surface of the earth. When the labyrinth is threatened, Zachary must race with Mirabel, and Dorian, a handsome barefoot man with shifting alliances, through its twisting tunnels and crowded ballrooms, searching for the end of his story. You are invited to join Zachary on the starless sea, the home of storytellers, story lovers and those who will protect our stories at all costs. Scarce in this first impression.
