{"product_id":"elizabeth-knox-the-absolute-book-9780593296738","title":"The Absolute Book","description":"The epic fantasy that's taking the world by storm--a bewitching story about a revenge killing, a mysterious scroll box that has survived centuries of fires, and the book that changed everything \"Majestic, brain-bending . . . Each time I thought the book was done surprising me, Knox . . . opened another gate and flung me through it.\" --Dan Kois, Slate Taryn Cornick believes that the past--her sister's violent death, and her own ill-conceived revenge--is behind her, and she can get on with her life. She has written a successful book about the things that threaten libraries: insects, damp, light, fire, carelessness and uncaring . . . but not all of the attention it brings her is good. A policeman, Jacob Berger, questions her about a cold case. Then there are questions about a fire in the library at her grandparents' house and an ancient scroll box known as the Firestarter, as well as threatening phone calls and a mysterious illness. Finally a shadowy young man named Shift appears, forcing Taryn and Jacob toward a reckoning felt in more than one world. The Absolute Book is epic, action-packed fantasy in which hidden treasures are recovered, wicked things resurface, birds can talk, and dead sisters are a living force. It is a book of journeys and returns, from contemporary England to Auckland, New Zealand; from a magical fairyland to Purgatory. Above all, it is a declaration of love for stories and the ways in which they shape our worlds and create gods out of mortals.","brand":"VIKING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53632815792470,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780593296738_1.jpg?v=1778663275","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/elizabeth-knox-the-absolute-book-9780593296738","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
