The Thirteenth Archive

At Arden University, the pursuit of knowledge is sacred - and often fatal.
Hidden in the mist-veiled mountains, the school is known for its study of Bibliomancy: the ancient art of weaving magic from words. Students whisper of forbidden texts, haunted libraries, and professors who vanished into their own research. For Eira Vale, a scholarship student haunted by a past she refuses to remember, Arden is her final chance at redemption.
When she is chosen as an assistant to the enigmatic Professor Lucien Harrow, Eira's world shifts. Brilliant, cursed, and beautiful in the way ghosts are, Lucien is said to have murdered his last apprentice. Yet in his presence, Eira feels not fear - but recognition.
Together, they uncover clues to a myth older than the university itself: the Thirteenth Archive, a library hidden beneath the campus that is said to hold the original words of creation - language so powerful it can rewrite destiny, resurrect the dead, and unmake the soul.
