Tomb of the Queen
(2021)(The first book in the Jayne Thorne, CIA Librarian series)
A novel by Joss Walker
A librarian. A spellbook. And a magical terror organization set on controlling the world...
Librarian Jayne Thorne enjoys her quiet life of tea and books. That is, until she finds a spell book in the Vanderbilt University archives that accidentally gives her access to a magical dimension.
Now she's hunted by a magic-wielding terrorist group, and the only way for her to survive is to team up with a secret branch of the CIA. Her first mission: Go undercover at Trinity College Library in Dublin and determine if the Book of Leinster is actually a magical necromantic grimoire.
With the help of a handsome Irish kickboxer, Jayne uncovers the truth of her unexpected spell book: The Irish manuscript is one of five grimoires that can raise five dead, master magicians, and secure their totems of power. With these totems comes the power to control the world.
But the spell book isn't the only thing with secrets in Jayne's new life. Danger lurks in every corner and Jayne must rise to meet her fated role...or perish alongside the rest of the world.
A Discovery of Witches meets Mercy Thompson, with a splash of Indiana Jones and Gilmore Girls, in this award-winning fantasy adventure.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
