The Untold Story

Irene Winters, librarian spy and time-traveler across alternate worlds, faces the most personal case of her career when the Library orders her to kill a man who may be her own father. Alberich was once the Library's greatest traitor, but his offer of a truce forces Irene to uncover why he originally betrayed the institution he helped build. Her search takes her across multiple realities, deep into mythology and folklore, and toward a revelation about the Library's fundamental nature and purpose.

Kristin Atherton has been the defining voice of the Invisible Library series, and in this eighth installment she brings a new emotional weight to Irene's predicament. The tension between duty and personal loyalty is rendered with precision, and Atherton makes the philosophical debates that run through the story feel genuinely urgent. At over fourteen hours, this is one of the longer entries in the series, and the additional runtime rewards fans who have followed Irene's journey from the beginning.
