The Astral Library

**The Astral Library** by **Kate Quinn** is a bookish portal fantasy that celebrates the comfort, courage and sheer possibility found between the shelves. If you love stories about libraries, hidden doors and worlds built from classic literature, this one is made for you.

Alix Watson trusts books more than people. Scraping by in Boston, she spends her nights in the Boston Public Library, reading to escape the weight of everyday life. Then a concealed doorway opens onto the Astral Library — a remarkable refuge where the lost can step into the stories they cherish.

When a sinister force threatens the library’s survival, Alix is forced into a breathless flight through famous fictional landscapes, from Regency society to foggy Victorian streets, learning what it means to protect a place that protects others.

Perfect for readers who enjoy cosy-meets-adventurous fantasy, literary adventure, and anyone who’s ever felt at home in a library. Step inside and see where the next door leads.
