MORE ABOUT THE GREAT LIBRARY OF TOMORROW

The Great Library of Tomorrow is an epic fantasy that follows a group of heroes as they battle a sinister force bent on destroying the openness, love, and creativity that sustain their interconnected worlds.

For centuries, Helia has served as the Wise One of Hope for The Great Library of Tomorrow, a mystical archive that connects the many realms of Paperworld through magical portals, all governed by the Book of Wisdom. But even Helia's hope is challenged when she and her partner, Xavier, the Wise One of Truth, are attacked during a visit to Silvyra’s famed Rose Garden. Amid the destruction and chaos, they face a dark figure known as the Ash Man.

With the Rose Garden in ruins and its protector, a dragon, lost, Xavier sacrifices himself to ensure Helia’s escape so she can warn the other Wise Ones. However, when she returns to the library, she finds the Book of Wisdom—the ultimate guide for the Wise Ones—eerily silent. As the Ash Man grows stronger, Helia must race against time to uncover the origins of this enemy and find a way to stop him before it's too late.
