Publisher Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
The magical new novel from the best-selling author of The Night Circus.
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.

Customer Reviews
I’ve never had so many euphoric moments of realisation
This story bends and winds giving you snippets of information as you need it until you see the bigger picture. It was paced so brilliantly that couldn’t put it down. It’s not the easiest read if you struggle to keep track of multiple storylines or events not occurring in chronological order but this was no issue for me, a pleasure to read, imaginative and with each chapter I was so eager to read what happens next.
Loved this book and the night circus
All I have to say is please please please write more books, the most disappointing thing was searching hopefully for more titles by this author and not finding any. I loved this book i loved the intriguing imagination that went into it.
Dull dull and did I mention dull?
My god this is dull. And pointless. Lots of nice vocabulary but that’s about it. I’ll never get the time back but more fool me for ploughing on with it. Avoid. It’s a Turkey.
