Description
The sixth installment in Cogman’s deliriously imaginative Invisible Library series proves that the steampunk saga shows no signs of letting up on the fantastical thrills and striking characterisation of its predecessors. Witty, whip-smart dialogue, perfectly paced action and protagonists that you really care about; what’s not to love about The Secret Chapter?
Irene and Kai have to team up with an unlikely band of misfits to pull off an amazing art heist. Or they must risk the wrath of a dangerous villain, in his secret island lair. . .
As Irene tries to manage a fraught Fae-dragon truce and her overbearing parents, she's given a hot new mission. The world where she grew up is in danger and only one book can save it.
This is held by Mr Nemo, secretive Fae villain and antique dealer, so Irene and Kai travel to his Caribbean retreat to strike a deal. But in return for the book, they must steal a painting from twenty-first-century Vienna. They'll join a team of dragons, Fae gamblers and thieves, so their greatest challenge may be one another. And some will kill to protect this painting, which hides an extraordinary secret from a past age.
In this bookish adventure, a Librarian spy must fall in with a nefarious group to achieve her goals. Imagine Ocean's Eleven meets James Bond with a pinch of magic. This is the sixth novel in Genevieve Cogman's Invisible Library series.
