\nBook summary:
\n"Za chary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a ra re book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages\, entranced by tales o f lovelorn prisoners\, key collectors\, and nameless acolytes\, he reads s omething strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexp licable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be re corded\, Zachary uncovers a series of clues--a bee\, a key\, and a sword-- that lead him to a masquerade party in New York\, to a secret club\, and t hrough a doorway to a subterranean library\, hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians--it is a place of lost cities a nd seas of honey\, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time\, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrif iced much to protect this realm\, relinquishing their sight and their tong ues to preserve this archive\, and also those who are intent on its destru ction. Together with Mirabel\, a fierce\, pink-haired protector of the pla ce\, and Dorian\, a beautiful barefoot man with shifting alliances\, Zacha ry travels the twisting tunnels\, darkened stairwells\, crowded ballrooms\ , and sweetly-soaked shores of this magical world\, discovering his purpos e--in both the rare book and in his own life"-- Provided by publisher.
