About Sword and Pen
The Great Library’s corrupt leadership has been overthrown, but its future is far from secure. The Archivist plots a return to power while outside empires and kingdoms besiege the Library from every side. Jess Brightwell and his friends must unite one last time to decide what the Library should become—and whether the institution they fought against is still worth saving before everything it stood for crumbles.
