Return to the world of the Invisible Library for Irene's most perilous mission yet.... Librarian Spy Irene is heading into danger. Not for the first time, but could this be her last? She’s tasked with a terrifyingly dangerous solo mission to eliminate an old enemy, which must be kept secret at all costs. But even more troubling news emerges. Multiple worlds are disappearing - and the Library may have something to do with it.

Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, which harvests fiction from different realities. And along with her enigmatic assistant Kai, she's posted to an alternative London. Their mission - to retrieve a dangerous book. But when they arrive, it's already been stolen. London's underground factions seem prepared to fight to the very death to find her book. Adding to the jeopardy, this world is chaos-infested - the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural creatures and unpredictable magic. Irene's new assistant is also hiding secrets of his own.

Librarian-spy Irene is working undercover in an alternative London when her assistant Kai goes missing. She discovers he's been kidnapped by the fae faction and the repercussions could be fatal. Not just for Kai, but for whole worlds. Kai's dragon heritage means he has powerful allies, but also powerful enemies in the form of the fae. With this act of aggression, the fae are determined to trigger a war between their people - and the forces of order and chaos themselves.

Peace talks are always tricky...especially when a key diplomat gets stabbed. This murder rudely interrupts a top-secret summit between the warring dragons and Fae, so librarian-spy Irene is summoned to investigate. In a version of 1890s Paris, Irene and her detective friend Vale must track down the killer - before either the peace negotiations or the city go up in flames.

Revolutionary France is no place to be, especially for aristocrat vampires facing the guillotine. But the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel are determined to rescue them. And they have an ace up their sleeve: Eleanor, a lowly maid from an English estate with a striking resemblance to French royalty. For Eleanor, the League and their legendary deeds are little more than rumour – until she’s drawn into their most dangerous plot yet. The mission? Travel to France in disguise, impersonate Queen Marie Antoinette and rescue the royal family.

Eleanor, once a lowly English maid, is now a member of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, know for their daring deeds and recusing aristocrat vampires from the guillotine. This time, Eleanor and the League are investigating the disappearance of Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, the notorious French statesman and diplomat. But they soon uncover two vampire parties feuding for power and learn Talleyrand's disappearance is part of a bigger, more dangerous scheme that will throw France into bloody chaos.

When it's your job to save the day—where do you start? Librarian spy Irene has standards to maintain, especially while on probation. And absconding from a mission via a besieged building doesn't look good. But when her escape route home goes up in flames, what's a spy to do? However, it seems gates back to the Library are malfunctioning across dozens of worlds. Worse still, her nemesis Alberich is responsible—and he plans to annihilate the Library itself.

Librarian spy Irene thought her to-do list would be her undoing. She's on missions for both the Library and a dear friend - the detective Vale. And she’s also training her new Fae apprentice, who's more interested in the stacks than sleuthing. But now someone is trying to kidnap her and kill her friends. As Irene, Kai and Vale try to track down the would-be assassin, they uncover a plot. It’s even more insidious than usual and could threaten Irene’s headquarters, Vale’s home and the Library itself.

As Irene tries to manage a fraught Fae-dragon truce and her overbearing parents, she’s given a hot new mission. The world where she grew up is in danger and only one book can save it. This is held by Mr Nemo, secretive Fae villain and antique dealer, so Irene and Kai travel to his Caribbean retreat to strike a deal. But in return for the book, they must steal a painting from 21st century Vienna. They’ll join a team of dragons, Fae gamblers and thieves, so their greatest challenge may be one another.

In a 1920s-esque America, Prohibition is in force, fedoras, flapper dresses and tommy guns are in fashion and intrigue is afoot. Intrepid librarians Irene and Kai find themselves caught in the middle of a dragon vs dragon contest. It seems a young librarian has become tangled in this conflict, and if they can't extricate him, there could be serious political repercussions for the mysterious library. And, as the balance of power across mighty factions hangs in the balance, this could even trigger war.

1794. Eleanor, once a lowly English maid, is now a member of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel and a promising conjuror. With a vampire plot thwarted in Paris, the League's next daring rescue is of the Pimpernel's beloved wife, Lady Marguerite, imprisoned in her London townhouse on unjust charges of treason and espionage. But Lady Marguerite’s captivity is only the first threat from the League's vampiric enemy. With the King known to be ill, possibly mad, England is not as it should be.

England, 18. Jhdt. Vampirische und menschliche Aristokraten leben Seite an Seite. Das Bluttrinken ist eine geregelte Angelegenheit, gemordet wird höchstens im Geheimen. Als in Frankreich die Revolution ausbricht, schleust ein Engländer namens Scarlet Pimpernel Adelige auf die Insel, um sie vor der Guillotine zu retten - menschliche wie vampirische. Dadurch droht jedoch das prekäre Gleichgewicht in England zu kippen. Ein Dienstmädchen findet sich plötzlich zwischen den Fronten wieder.

Alles beginnt mit einem Buch... Die unsichtbare Bibliothek - ein Ort jenseits von Raum und Zeit und ein Tor zu den unterschiedlichsten Welten. Hier werden einzigartige Bücher gesammelt und erforscht, nachdem Bibliothekare im Außendienst sie beschafft haben. Irene Winters ist eine von ihnen. Ihr aktueller Auftrag führt sie in ein viktorianisches London, wo eine seltene Version der Grimm'schen Märchen aufgetaucht ist.

Irene Winters ist Agentin der unsichtbaren Bibliothek, die jenseits von Raum und Zeit als Tor zwischen den Welten existiert. Seit undenklichen Zeiten werden diese Welten von einer erbitterten Feindschaft zwischen Drachen und Elfen erschüttert. Doch nun kommen beide Parteien im Paris des Fin de Siècle zusammen, um unter Führung der Bibliothek einen Friedensvertrag auszuhandeln. Es sieht nach einem Durchbruch aus, bis ein wichtiger Verhandlungsführer der Drachen ermordet wird. Der Täter muss schnellstens gefunden werden!

Come molte sue coetanee, Irene è una ragazza sveglia e piena di vita, eppure c'è qualcosa che la rende davvero speciale: lavora come spia per conto di una società segreta - la Biblioteca Invisibile - e viaggia attraverso dimensioni alternative per recuperare libri oscuri e misteriosi, sconosciuti ai più. Ad affiancarla c'è il suo enigmatico assistente, il bel Kai, con il quale viene spedita in una Londra vittoriana per rintracciare un volume molto pericoloso.

Irene Winters hat die unsichtbare Bibliothek gerettet. Dummerweise hat sie dabei auch eine Reihe unersetzlicher Bücher verbrannt, weswegen ihre Bibliothekarskollegen und ihre Vorgesetzten sie nun mit Misstrauen beäugen. Daher zögert Irene nicht lange, als sie von einem Drachen gebeten wird, ein äußerst seltenes Buch zu suchen. Mit einem solchen Fund könnte sie ihren Ruf wiederherstellen. Nur leider nützt ihr das nichts, wenn sie tot ist. Und das verborgene Buch birgt ein tödliches Geheimnis.

Irene und ihr Assistent Kai sind Agenten der unsichtbaren Bibliothek, in der es Zugänge zu den unterschiedlichsten Welten - und damit auch zu den seltensten Büchern - gibt. Ihr neuester Fall führt sie in ein alternatives Frankreich zu Revolutionszeiten. Ein gefährlicher Ort, um Bücher zu stehlen. Besonders, wenn plötzlich der magische Rückweg in die Bibliothek versperrt ist. Was erst wie ein Zufall erscheint, stellt sich als heimtückischer Angriff heraus. Ein Angriff, der die ganze Bibliothek zerstören könnte.

Mentre sta lavorando sotto copertura in una insolita e caotica Londra vittoriana, Irene Winters, spia della società segreta la Biblioteca Invisibile, scopre che il suo assistente Kai è scomparso, rapito dalla fazione dei fae, creature fatte di caos e magia, capaci di mutare forma e provocare disordini nei mondi corrotti. Considerando il legame di Kai con i draghi, acerrimi avversari dei fae, le ripercussioni del suo rapimento potrebbero essere fatali, non solo per il suo amico ma per interi mondi: Irene deve salvarlo e scongiurare l'Armageddon a ogni costo.

Wieder einmal muss sich Irene Winters, die unerschrockene Agentin der unsichtbaren Bibliothek, in Gefahr begeben. Dies ist nicht das erste Mal, aber was, wenn es das letzte Mal ist? Allein auf sich gestellt muss sie sich einem alten Feind stellen. Doch es gibt noch weitere schlechte Nachrichten. Mehrere Parallelwelten sind auf unerklärliche Weise verschwunden - und die Bibliothek könnte etwas damit zu tun haben. Irene und ihre Freunde müssen tief in die noch unerforschten Gebiete der Bibliothek eintauchen, wenn sie das Rätsel um die verschwindenden Welten lösen wollen.
