A missing God.
A library with the secrets to the universe.
A woman too busy to notice her heart slipping away.
Carolyn's not so different from the other people around her. She likes
guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes
are a bit tricky, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the
Christmas sweater over the gold bicycle shorts.
After all, she was a normal American herself once.
That was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she
and the others were taken in by the man they called Father.
In the years since then, Carolyn hasn't had a chance to get out much.
Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to
Father's ancient customs. They've studied the books in his Library and
learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometimes, they've wondered
if their cruel tutor might secretly be God.
Now, Father is missing—perhaps even dead—and the Library that holds his
secrets stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation.
As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce
competitors for this prize align against her, all of them with powers
that far exceed her own.
But Carolyn has accounted for this.
And Carolyn has a plan.
The only trouble is that in the war to make a new God, she's forgotten to
protect the things that make her human.
Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters and propelled by a plot
that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char is at once
horrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human,
sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling—and signals the arrival
of a major new voice in fantasy.
