The Astral Library

Have you ever wished you could live inside a book?

A GOODREADS READERS' FAVOURITE OF 2026 SO FAR

Welcome to the Astral Library, where books open up new worlds…

Alix Watson knows one thing: unlike people, books will never let her down.

Night after night she takes refuge in the Boston Public Library, shutting out the struggle to make ends meet with her favorite fantasy novels.

Then she stumbles through a hidden door and is transported to the Astral Library, where the lost find sanctuary in stories.

But when a shadowy enemy threatens to destroy the library, Alix must flee through Jane Austen’s Regency world and Sherlock Holmes’ London as danger closes in…
