Synopsis
The Book That Held Her Heart concludes the trilogy, following Livira and Evar, once closely connected through their shared time within the library but now separated by distance and by the shifting, unstable nature of time itself within its walls. As both continue trying to find a way back to one another, the wider conflict surrounding the library, an internal war whose roots reach back to secrets uncovered across the first two novels, presses toward a resolution that will determine the fate of the library and everyone bound to it. The novel draws together the separate threads Livira and Evar have each pursued since the first book, testing what, if anything, can still reunite them after everything the library has put them through.
