The Lost Plot

In the fourth installment of Genevieve Cogman's "Invisible Library" series, "The Lost Plot" plunges intrepid librarian Irene Winter and her dragon apprentice Kai into the vibrant yet dangerous world of 1920s New York City. Operating amidst Prohibition-era glamor and gangster-ridden streets, their covert mission takes a perilous turn when a powerful dragon queen demands the retrieval of a rare book, sparking fierce political rivalries among her heirs. Complicating matters, a young librarian becomes entangled in the conflict, his safety – and potentially his life – hanging in the balance. Irene and Kai must navigate a complex web of dragon politics, outsmart local mobsters, evade security forces, and locate the missing book before a full-blown war erupts between the factions. Failure is not an option; not only could it trigger a catastrophic conflict, but it would also jeopardize Irene's career and her very existence. This high-stakes quest tests their ingenuity and courage against a backdrop of historical fantasy and thrilling intrigue.
