Alcatraz Versus the Shattered Lens
Book 4 of the Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians series
Alcatraz and his allies travel to the kingdom of Mokia as the Evil Librarians close in with an invading army. The conflict forces Alcatraz to use his Talent for breaking things on a much larger scale while Bastille and the Smedrys confront the costs of a real war. The Shattered Lens of the title becomes part of a threat that is less easily dismissed as another absurd adventure. Brandon Sanderson’s fourth Alcatraz novel keeps the series’ jokes and metafictional narration while allowing the struggle against the Librarians to become more serious and consequential.
