Description

The spellbinding new novel from the Top Ten bestselling author of The Night Circus.

'Radiates with the excitement of someone discovering a magical world within the pages of a book. An enchanting read… an ode to stories and storytelling itself, and the joy of reading' Independent


Are you lost or are you exploring?

When Zachary Rawlins stumbles across a strange book hidden in his university library it leads him on a quest unlike any other. Its pages entrance him with their tales of lovelorn prisoners, lost cities and nameless acolytes, but they also contain something impossible: a recollection from his own childhood.

Determined to solve the puzzle of the book, Zachary follows the clues he finds on the cover – a bee, a key and a sword. They guide him to a masquerade ball, to a dangerous secret club, and finally through a magical doorway created by the fierce and mysterious Mirabel. This door leads to a subterranean labyrinth filled with stories, hidden far beneath the surface of the earth.

When the labyrinth is threatened, Zachary must race with Mirabel, and Dorian, a handsome barefoot man with shifting alliances, through its twisting tunnels and crowded ballrooms, searching for the end of his story.

You are invited to join Zachary on the starless sea: the home of storytellers, story-lovers and those who will protect our stories at all costs.

The Starless Sea - Erin Morgenstern



Morgenstern’s first novel The Night Circus was a surreal, magical masterpiece, and her second has been eight years in the making, beyond massively anticipated by its fans.



The Starless Sea tells of a magical underground world. A heady blend of library, private members club and secret society, the crazy mix of ideas it contains completely will captivate any reader. We follow Zachary Ezra Rawlins, who finds childhood memories in a book older than he is, meets an enigmatic man at a bookish cocktail party, ends up in the middle of rival factions and intertwined in epic time slip romances.



The narrative shifts, perspectives are introduced and fall away. There are so many ideas that could have made their own book!



It’s intoxicating, spellbinding, and does it live up to expectations? In short, Yes.



This should be on any bookish Christmas list
