From the author of The Summer Prince, Love is the Drug and Trouble the Saints comes a kaleidoscopic YA novel about the power of stories and their power to heal. THE LIBRARY OF BROKEN WORLDS follows Freida, born in The Library, AI considered to be Gods in a world of high technology. As she struggles to find the purpose of her creation by The Library, she discovers the peaceful world she’s a part of is only peaceful for the privileged. When Freida meets Joshua, a Tierran boy desperate to save his people, and Nergüi, a disciple from a persecuted religious minority, Freida is compelled to help them. But in order to do so, she will have to venture deeper into The Library than she has ever known. There she will discover the atrocities of the past, the truth of her origins, and the impossibility of her future. With the world at the brink of war, Freida embarks on a journey to fulfill her destiny, one that pits her against an ancient war god. Her mission is straightforward: Destroy the god before he can rain hellfire upon thousands of innocent lives -- if he doesn't destroy her first.
