Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues-a bee, a key, and a sword-that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood.
“Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. It was more mood than plot, and in the end, I was more than ready to be done with it. I had extremely mixed feelings about this book – at times I was captivated, fully caught up in its magic, but at other times I absolutely hated it.
Those who seek even if they do not know what (or where) it is that they are seeking.
For those who feel homesick for a place they’ve never been to.
