The Last Librarian

In a world where imagination isn't only frowned upon, but illegal, someone must safeguard the very thing that keeps dreams alive: books. For over 60 years Constance has safeguarded the world's last library. Now she's older and she's looking for another to take on the mantel of the Last Librarian.

Raised in the Underslums since birth, Magnolia only knows one thing for certain. That obedience is the key to survival. She doesn't want to fight, she doesn't want to change the world. She wants her family to stay alive.
But with Inspectors swarming the city, searching for dreamers and disease creeping around every corner even that seems impossible.

Until Magnolia finds a treasure that has been long since forgotten-a book. It's value is immeasurable and she sets out to trade it
for medicine. But she will recieve far more than she bargained for including a new job and an underground rebellion that needs her help.

She didn't want this. She doesn't want to be a rebel. She just wants her family to survive. But after Magnolia learns the sickening truth about the Council she discovers that some things are worth fighting for.
