The Dark Talent
(2018)(The fifth book in the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series)
A novel by Brandon Sanderson
#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sandersons Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series comes to an electrifying conclusion
and its about time if you ask me.
By me I of course mean me, Alcatraz Smedry. This is the last chapter of my autobiography, and was the hardest one for me to write. Because, in itIm not a hero. In fact, Im the one who screwed everything up for everyone else.
First off, my Talent for breaking things got a little out of hand, and I ended up destroying everyone elses Talents. As in anyone who was born with a Talent no longer has a Talent and might never get their Talent backand all because of a Talent of mine which I no longer have. Got it?
Even worse, my best friend Bastille (shes a girl, and a friend, but not really my girlfriend I think?) was put in a coma by those Librarian slugs. So I owed them one for that.
And worse than worse, I needed to enter the heart of Librarian powerthe dreaded Highbraryif I was ever going to bring Bastille back to life and stop my know-it-all hotshot renegade father from unleashing chaos all over the world just because he thinks its the right thing to do.
I wasnt sure I would make it out in one piece. Or two pieces. Or even ten pieces, considering how ticked off the Librarians were with me.
So if youre willing to read about a world full of deadly dangers and fearsome foes unlike anything youve read before, turn the page. After all, I made it out alive
Though someone very close to me didnt.
