About Ash and Quill
Jess Brightwell and his fellow exiles have fled London only to become prisoners in Philadelphia, a city controlled by people who would rather destroy books than submit to the Great Library. Their one advantage is dangerous knowledge: the means to build a machine that could challenge the Library’s power. With time running out, the group must decide whether to live or die together as they carry the fight to their enemies and try to save the Library from itself.
