The third instalment of this sparkling fantasy adventure. Irene the librarian spy faces deadly danger and impossible decisions, as the future of the library rests on her shoulders. Perfect for fans of Jodi Taylor and Jasper Fforde.
In an alternate St. Petersburg, librarian-spy Irene faces unimaginable dangers – as her arch-nemesis returns. The Burning Page is the third instalment in the Invisible Library series from bestselling author Genevieve Cogman.
Librarian-spy Irene is on probation – and absconding from a mission doesn't look good. But when her escape route home goes up in flames, what's a spy to do?
It turns out, Irene's home, the trans-dimensional library, is under siege. Across dozens of worlds, its once-reliable Gates back to the library are malfunctioning. Irene's nemesis, Alberich, is responsible – with plans to annihilate the library itself.
To face the threat, Irene and assistant Kai are posted to St Petersburg. Here, Irene stumbles upon an incredibly dangerous – yet alluring – opportunity. It's a chance to save the library. Saving herself would be a bonus . . .
Brace yourself for an action-filled ride with stolen books, covert operatives, and clandestine societies!
Irene's adventures continue in The Lost Plot, the next captivating entry in The Invisible Library series.

Genevieve Cogman started on Tolkien and Sherlock Holmes at an early age, and has never looked back. But on a perhaps more prosaic note, she has an MSc in Statistics with Medical Applications and has wielded this in an assortment of jobs: clinical coder, data analyst and classifications specialist. The Invisible Library is her debut novel, but she has also previously worked as a freelance roleplaying game writer. Following The Invisible Library, The Masked City and The Burning Page, The Invisible Library series continues with The Lost Plot and The Mortal World. Genevieve Cogman's hobbies include patchwork, beading, knitting and gaming, and she lives in the north of England.
