About this ebook
The quest to preserve all knowledge faces a terrifying threat in this thrilling sequel to Mel Odom's award-winning fantasy adventure.
Many years have passed since Wick, the once-lowly librarian, returned from his mainland adventures to the Vault of All Known Knowledge. Now serving as Grandmagister Lamplighter, Wick entrusts his eager assistant Jugh with the roving duties he once relished.
But an encounter with a goblin ship on the high seas leads to a startling discovery – a book in the hands of goblins, a matter that demands investigation. As Jugh delves deeper, he uncovers a powerful evil that threatens the very existence of the Great Library.
In Destruction of the Books, the sequel to The Rover, Mel Odom weaves a tale of epic quests, magical tomes, and the tireless pursuit of knowledge. Filled with action, adventure, and a cast of enchanting characters – from dwarves and elves to wizards and dragons – this lighthearted fantasy series is perfect for young adult readers and fans of sword and sorcery.
Can Jugh and Wick protect the Vault of All Known Knowledge, or will the forces of darkness bring about the destruction of the books and a fate far worse? Embark on a thrilling journey in this engaging blend of high fantasy and lighthearted adventure.
