In the thrilling second installment of the Invisible Library series, "The Masked City," librarian-spy Irene finds her world thrown into chaos when her trusted assistant, Kai, is violently abducted by the notoriously dangerous Fae faction. This shocking event unmasks Kai's true identity as a dragon prince, revealing the Fae's sinister plot to ignite an interdimensional war that threatens to engulf all realities. With the stakes astronomically high, Irene must embark on a perilous mission into a dark, alternate Venice—a city twisted under the grim control of the Fae. To avert an impending armageddon, she must navigate treacherous political landscapes, employ cunning blackmail, engage in fierce combat, and forge unlikely alliances. Her objective is clear: rescue Kai before the Fae's destructive ambitions plunge the dimensions into irreversible havoc. Failure is not an option, for it would mean not only her death but the annihilation of everything she knows.
