Isaac Vainio is a Libriomancer, a member of the secret organization founded five centuries ago by Johannes Gutenberg. Libriomancers are gifted with the ability to magically reach into books and draw forth objects. When Isaac is attacked by vampires that leaked from the pages of books into our world, he barely manages to escape. To his horror he discovers that vampires have been attacking other magic-users as well, and Gutenberg has been kidnapped. With the help of a motorcycle-riding dryad who packs a pair of oak cudgels, Isaac finds himself hunting the unknown dark power that has been manipulating humans and vampires alike. And his search will uncover dangerous secrets about Libriomancy, Gutenberg, and the history of magic. . . . "This may be Jim Hines’s best work. LIBRIOMANCER is smart, silly, and deadly serious, all at the same time. It’s a book about loving books. This is the magic librarian and ass-kicking dryad adventure story we’ve all been waiting for." — Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of DISCOUNT ARMAGEDDON "All writers believe in the magic of books; Jim Hines has created a system where that magic becomes real, usable, and very definitely not always safe. LIBRIOMANCER not only pulls magic from between the pages of books—from Gutenberg to Harris—but puts it there under Hines. This is a book for everyone who has ever wanted to pull Excalibur from the page." — Tanya Huff, bestselling author of the BLOOD BOOKS "Secret organizations, supernatural threats, and an unknown killer of unimaginable power—LIBRIOMANCER is one of the best reads I’ve had in a long time. It’s a lightning-fast race against time and magic to prevent the darkest secrets from history from unleashing a supernatural war on the world. I can’t wait for the next one. Oh, by the way, never piss off a fire spider." — Lisa Shearin, national bestselling author of ALL SPELL BREAKS LOOSE |
