Claire wants the pages to prevent Hell from starting an all-out war that will destroy her library. Written by Lucifer himself, the pages contain enough power that Hell and Heaven are both desperate to possess them.

The intense and restless quiet of the Unwritten Wing is interrupted when Claire discovers that pages from the Devil’s Bible have been found. Claire’s job is to put these characters (and their books) back to sleep. Unwritten books are restless, their pent-up authorial energy sparking and manifesting as characters brought to life. The problem for Claire isn’t just controlling her patrons, but also controlling her books. The Unwritten Wing has an uneasy truce with the rest of Hell, whose denizens would gladly destroy all of its books to consume their creative energy and potential. While the overarching drive of the novel is a race between Hell and Heaven to solve a mystery, Hackwith’s characters and their interactions take center stage.Ĭlaire is Hell’s Librarian, the keeper of the Unwritten Wing.

This novel is literally set in Hell there’s plenty of stabby demons, and betrayals, and grumpy librarians who need more tea and less talking. If that sounds corny and sunshiny–DON’T PANIC. Hackwith’s novel, THE LIBRARY OF THE UNWRITTEN ( Amazon), explores the power of stories and imagination.
