Be careful out there, my thrifty bibliophiles.

I would like to present a narrative about a medical and technical professional named Victor Amell. He is a lead engineer and tester for the recently renovated and rebranded NASA, which is currently engaged in a conflict with an alien race. The narrative requires the protagonists to relocate humans, with the setting shifted to the planet Kepler-452b. This planetary environment will feature the introduction of dragons and other creatures, though guidance is sought on the development of their species. For instance, the objective is to create a dragon with a more aerodynamic bone structure, enabling enhanced control and agility during flight.

Additionally, there are specials of dragons with more formidable jaws, reduced wingspans, and impressive terrestrial locomotion abilities. Lastly, the possibility exists for the inclusion of a system of miniature-breed dinosaurs and dragons as domesticated animals.

Private communities will be coming! Woo!

A missing God.

A library with the secrets to the universe.

A woman too busy to notice her heart slipping away.

Carolyn's not so different from the other people around her. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are a bit tricky, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the Christmas sweater over the gold bicycle shorts.

After all, she was a normal American herself once.

That was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by the man they called Father.

In the years since then, Carolyn hasn't had a chance to get out much. Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father's ancient customs. They've studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God.

Now, Father is missing—perhaps even dead—and the Library that holds his secrets stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation.

As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own.

But Carolyn has accounted for this.

And Carolyn has a plan.

The only trouble is that in the war to make a new God, she's forgotten to protect the things that make her human.

Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters and propelled by a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char is at once horrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human, sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling—and signals the arrival of a major new voice in fantasy.
