"If I handed you the key to your eternal freedom, would you take it?"
Rae Burke is a brigand assassin, and he's good at what he does. But when the winds of change whistle by, he throws himself into the chance for freedom and safety for his family.
Wren Burke knows that she trusts her husband, so she accepts the grimoire he shoves into her arms, plunges into the wild forest with her three children, and throws herself into the mercy of magic and mayhem.
Ghosts from Rae's past won't let him, or the magic, go so easily.
Despite separation, perils, the threat of starvation, and a magical system unlike any they've ever known, the Burke family must pull together and discover a new world they never knew existed.
THE GREAT LIBRARY OF BURKE is the fourth novel in the Historical Collection. This exhilarating tale of bravery and family will sweep you back to the world of magical Letum Wood.

I loved learning more about the Great Library of Burke and the family that was responsible for its existence. It was a wild ride and I enjoyed every minute of it.
The library in this book is just as much a character as the witches in this story. All the feels to be had as all within discover their place in this world.
Katie's story telling and passionate narration brings all of Alkarra and her inhabitants to life.
A great addition to the Historical collection and a stand alone novel for Alkarra
This book is yet another entry into Alkarra as Katie masterfully explains how the Great Library of Burke came to be. I never give spoilers when I put up a review but I will say that just the way the book starts with the library as just one room and how it grows, why it grows…. Incredible story telling. A nice back story as those who have read other novels by Katie Cross know that the Great Library of Burke is key in many stories.
You will not be disappointed to pick this book up and start reading right now!
Enjoy!!
This is a must read for Alkarrans and anyone wanting to join in the epic magic and wild places of the enchanting world Katie Cross has created.
