The Starless Sea

Far below the surface, a lost library waits on the shores of the Starless Sea.

The spellbinding Sunday Times bestseller.

THE TIKTOK SENSATION

When Zachary Rawlins discovers a mysterious book in his university library, he is unsettled to find a story from his own childhood written inside it. The book leads him to a masquerade ball, a secretive collectors’ society and, at last, to a vast underground harbour filled with books, doors, myths and lost stories.

Beneath the surface of the world lies the Harbor on the Starless Sea, a place of hidden libraries, painted doors, lovers divided by time and stories that rewrite themselves across centuries. But the Harbor is fragile, and Zachary’s search for answers becomes part of a much older struggle over who may enter, who may preserve stories and who may control them.

The Starless Sea is a lyrical fantasy novel about books, hidden worlds, fate, love and the power of storytelling. Dreamlike, romantic and intricate, it is a magical read for anyone drawn to libraries, secret doors and stories within stories.

Enchanting read... an ode to stories and storytelling itself, and the joy of readingGuardian
