Deux étrangers liés par une bibliothèque-monde regorgeant de mystérieuses merveilles... et de secrets plus nombreux encore. Evar a passé toute sa vie prisonnier d'une salle remplie de livres, plus ancienne que les Empires, plus vaste qu'une cité. Livira vivait aux confins de la civilisation, où rôdent les cauchemars et où nul ne se rend. Lorsqu'elle est arrachée à son village, elle se consacre à l'étude des mystères qui irriguent la grande bibliothèque, coeur battant du royaume. Ils n'étaient pas censés se rencontrer. Dans la bibliothèque, leurs chemins se sont pourtant croisés.

Tandis que le périple d'Evar l'emmène à la découverte d'un monde qu'il n'avait encore jamais vu, Livira s'abîme dans le vertige de ses propres écrits.
