The Deadliest Candidate
(2025)(The first book in the Last Grand Archivist series)
A novel by Aurora Reed
Ten formidable candidates. Two prestigious jobs. One deadly library.
The Carthane Athenaeum selects only the best for the role of Grand Archivist. So when stalwart librarian Fern Sullivan is finally invited to compete for the role, she’s ready to sacrifice everything for it.
But as she contends with a host of extraordinary competitors, Fern quickly learns that she cannot trust anyone. Especially not elusive, enigmatic Léo Lautric—the scion of the corrupt arcane dynasty Fern has warred with for years.
When candidates begin to vanish, the candidacy shifts: scholarly competition transforms into a deadly game of power and ambition. As the lines between rivals, foes, and allies grow ever murkier, Fern finds herself forced to make impossible choices.
