# The Wren in the Holly Library by K. A. Linde (Hardcover)

**'Extraordinary!' - Rebecca Yarros, _New York Times_ bestselling author of _Fourth Wing_.  
  
She stole from a monster - now she must pay the price . . .**

  
Street thief Kierse should have known something wasn't right. Now she's trapped in a library -- with a monster. She can't run. She can't hide. And this man - this being, filled with terrible power and darkness -- is well within his rights to kill her.  
  
By trespassing, Kierse has broken the fragile peace treaty between monsters and humans. But instead of killing her, Graves does the unexpected: he offers her a job. A chance to find out who she really is.  
  
Kierse has always known she's different. That she can do things a little better, a little faster. And there's that sense she has when danger is only a breath away. But if the old tales are true, there are worse things in the world than monsters.  
  
Like a threat more ancient than legend. Like Graves. Or like Kierse herself . . .
