The Book That Wouldn't Burn


Mark Lawrence


All books, no matter their binding, will fall to dust. The stories they carry may last longer. They might outlive the paper, the library, even the language in which they were first written.


The greatest story can reach the stars . . .


This is the start of an incredible new journey from the internationally bestselling author of Prince of Thorns, in which, though the pen may be mightier than the sword, blood will be spilled and cities burned...


Evar has lived his whole life trapped within a vast library, older than empires and larger than cities.


Livira has spent hers in a tiny settlement out on the Dust where nightmares stalk and no one goes.


The world has never noticed them.


That's about to change.


As their stories spiral around each other, across worlds and time, each will unlock vast secrets about the world and themselves. This is a tale of truth and lies and hearts, and the blurring of one into another.

Mark Lawrence is married with four children, one of whom is severely disabled. His day job is as a research scientist focused on various rather intractable problems in the field of artificial intelligence. Between work and caring for his disabled child, Mark spends his time writing, playing computer games, tending an allotment, brewing beer, and avoiding DIY.
