WoW #40: Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine



Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


This week, I'm waiting on...


Ink and Bone


by Rachel Caine



Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine book cover


Expected publication: July 7th 2015

Genres: Fantasy; Young Adult


Add to Goodreads


In an exhilarating new series, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine rewrites history, creating a dangerous world where the Great Library of Alexandria has survived the test of time.…

Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the Library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly—but the personal ownership of books is expressly forbidden.

Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the Library, but the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his family, who are involved in the thriving black market. Jess has been sent to be his family’s spy, but his loyalties are tested in the final months of his training to enter the Library’s service.

When he inadvertently commits heresy by creating a device that could change the world, Jess discovers that those who control the Great Library believe that knowledge is more valuable than any human life—and soon both heretics and books will burn.…


Once I read the words “a dangerous world where the Great Library of Alexandria has survived the test of time.…” I was completely sold! The Great Library of ALEXANDRIA!! I can’t wait to see how it’s handled. I really like Rachel Caine’s Morganville Vampire series, so I have very high expectations for Ink and Bone. But… July!


What do you think? And what are you waiting on this week?

    This sounds amazing! I hadn't heard of it before (and I've been meaning to get to her Morganville Vampires series for an eternity) so I'll definitely be adding it on GR!

    I can't wait to read more stories by Rachel Caine, and I didn't know she had a new release this summer. Thanks for sharing, Alma, I'm definitely adding Ink and Bone to my TBR :)
