Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones
Book 2 of the Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians series
Alcatraz Smedry travels to the Library of Alexandria, which in this version of the world is controlled by ghostly Curators who demand a dangerous price for knowledge. He is searching for information about his missing father while learning more about the Smedry family and its bizarre magical Talents. Bastille and other allies accompany him into a place where books are valuable enough to be deadly. Brandon Sanderson’s second Alcatraz adventure expands the hidden war against the Evil Librarians while using its supernatural library for jokes about knowledge, stories, and what readers are willing to sacrifice for answers.
