ERIN MORGENSTERN - GEBRAUCHT THE STARLESS SEA A...

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Night Circus  a timeless love story set in a
secret underground world-a place of pirates  painters  lovers  liars  and ships that sail upon
a starless sea. Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a
mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages  entranced by tales of lovelorn
prisoners  key collectors  and nameless acolytes  he reads something strange: a story from his
own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own
life came to be recorded  Zachary uncovers a series of clues-a bee  a key  and a sword-that
lead him to a masquerade party in New York  to a secret club  and through a doorway to an
ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious
place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians-it is a place of lost
cities and seas  lovers who pass notes under doors and across time  and of stories whispered by
the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm  relinquishing
their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive  and also of those who are intent on its
destruction. Together with Mirabel  a fierce  pink-haired protector of the place  and Dorian  a
handsome  barefoot man with shifting alliances  Zachary travels the twisting tunnels  darkened
stairwells  crowded ballrooms  and sweetly soaked shores of this magical world  discovering his
purpose-in both the mysterious book and in his own life.
