Fracture

Seasons have passed since Emerson and Adrien emerged from Morsania Circo without Silas. Despite a tentative truce, Emerson has spent the last several months avoiding Adrien. However, when he tracks her down in New York City, she's forced put her grievances aside and form a reluctant alliance with him as they delve inside the Catalogue together. Emerson and Adrien navigate the Catalogue's labyrinth as it draws them further into its depths where the truth about its mysterious history awaits. The farther they go, the more evident it becomes that they are traveling beyond the point where Foundation and The Central Library turned on each other. They're approaching the origin of the Library itself. As their journey grows more treacherous and the two Librarians are forced to rely on each other, Emerson begins to wonder whether she may lose herself-both in the Catalogue and in the shifting lines of their relationship. Meanwhile, back in New York, a mysterious book resurfaces inside Ezekiel Glasberg's Regional Library, leading the Librarians to suspect that Silas's journey inside the Catalogue did not end with Morsania Circo. While the search for Silas reignites, tensions between the Libraries worsen and the Councils find themselves preparing for an inevitable confrontation. As Foundation and The Central Library barrel headlong down the path toward war, one thing becomes clear. There can only be one Head Librarian.
