Kept alive far past her time to fulfil a purpose long since fulfilled, Crest, an ancient Guardian of the Keep, is less than pleased when she is awoken to fight the Evil from the Sea. Again.

Worse, she discovers that she has become a sort of patron spirit to the wolves of the Keep. Forced to play court in the same song and dance and furious at their blatant idolatry, Crest keeps the very wolves she's promised to protect at a frigid distance as she searches for a way to free herself from the cycle.

But as Crest's searching takes her down darker and darker paths, one wolf, Swallow, sees the spray from the waves and brings a question to light: Will Crest turn her back on the Keep and all those who keep her bound, or in her efforts to free herself, will she let them die? Is it only the Keep who has forgotten the ways of old, or is Crest too set adrift?

Here, the absurd and extraordinary collide: knives twirl through the air in deadly ballets, lava pits echo with the wails of tormented souls, candylands brim with grotesque creatures spawned from the union of nightmares and dreams, and cosmic entities swap destinies with mortals in an eternal cycle of ascension and fall. Among the infinite corridors lies a father defying the fiercest storm for love, a man returning to the past to face the haunting truth about a long-lost friend, and a dead man meeting the gods in bizarre landscapes from myth and legend This sentient labyrinth of shifting shelves and living tomes is presided over by a Librarian whose essence infuses every creak and shadow. Within these twisting halls, whimsy and horror play an eternal game of hide-and-seek. Darkness offers comfort while light blinds. Comedy and tragedy trade masks with gleeful abandon, and the boundaries of good and evil blur into a haunting nursery rhyme. Beware, traveler, crossing the threshold will not leave you unchanged. The library's secrets dig deeper than any wound, its stories unraveling the fabric of your reality and opening more eyes than you thought you had. So, tell me: will you take the risk? Within these walls, knowledge and peril are bound together. Here is your key and card-a gift and a warning. The Library is watching, waiting. Whatever you expect, it will not be what you find.
