Full Description:

In a world where destiny is written but never truly fixed...

Eliza Morgan’s academic career lies in ruins after a controversial paper costs her both reputation and position. When a mysterious job offer arrives from the Chamberlain Library of Literary Arts, she sees it as a last chance at redemption.

But this is no ordinary library.

Hidden within its labyrinthine architecture lies a restricted collection of burgundy leather books-magical volumes that record every detail of every human life as it unfolds. When the head librarian dies under suspicious circumstances, Eliza takes the Librarian’s Oath and becomes the new guardian of these Books of Lives.

As Eliza struggles to master her new role and enhanced abilities, she discovers a terrifying truth: someone has learned to alter the Books, changing people’s destinies and causing deaths that were never meant to happen. The evidence points to a centuries-old conflict between the Librarians who protect the natural flow of destiny and the Scripteurs who believe they can create a better world through controlled manipulation.

With the help of Detective Marcus Reed, whose investigation into recent deaths leads him deeper into the Library’s secrets, Eliza must uncover the conspiracy before more lives are rewritten. But as their partnership evolves into something more personal, she discovers connections between her family’s hidden past and the Library’s founding that make her question everything she thought she knew about fate and free will.

When the Scripteurs launch a direct attack on the Heart of the Library-the metaphysical center that connects all Books-Eliza must embrace her enhanced abilities and forge unexpected alliances to defend not just the collection, but the very integrity of human destiny itself.

＂The Librarian’s Oath＂ is the first book in the ＂Infinite Lives＂ series, blending speculative fiction with romance and psychological thriller elements to explore the tension between destiny and choice, preservation and progress, in a world where every possible version of every life is recorded in magical books guarded by those sworn to protect them.
