An absent God.
A library containing all of the universe's secrets.
A lady too preoccupied to see her heart was failing her.
The folks in Carolyn's immediate vicinity don't really vary from her. She enjoys steak, cigarettes, and guacamole. She's proficient at using a phone. Although dressing is a little difficult, her Christmas jumper over the gold cycling shorts is a hit with everyone.She was once a regular American, after all.
Naturally, it was a very long time ago. prior to her parents' passing. Prior to the guy they called Father taking her in with the others. Since then, Carolyn hasn't had many opportunities to travel. Rather, Father's old traditions have been followed in raising her and her adoptive siblings. They have discovered some of the mysteries of his power by studying the volumes in his library. They have sometimes pondered if their terrible instructor is indeed God. Currently, Father is not to be found—possibly even dead—and the library containing his secrets is left exposed. And authority over all of creation with it.
Carolyn faces formidable rivals for this prize who all possess abilities well beyond her own as she acquires the equipment she will need for the impending conflict. However, Carolyn has taken this into consideration. Carolyn also has a strategy. The only issue is that she has neglected to defend her humanity in the fight to create a new god.
The Library at Mount Char is simultaneously terrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human, sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling—and heralds the arrival of a significant new voice in fantasy. It is driven by a plot that will shock you repeatedly.
