It follows Lizzie, an orphaned girl who learns about libraries after being taken in by the library of the Royal Palace. Deep within its walls, she discovers a hidden world where books are more than just words on paper; they have power. As she explores this world and learns more about her new friends, Lizzie begins to fall for one of them. But when Lizzie's actions jeopardize the stability of their society, she must leave everything behind and return to her old life

It is told in letters to her father before she left which give us an insight into her thoughts and feelings on why she does what she does. To make things more complicated, she also has a secret passion for rare books which make up The Invisible Library itself.

Set in alternate London, Cogman's novel is the fictionalized story of a young woman named Sophie serving as an apprentice in the 'Invisible Library,' a vast repository of knowledge hidden from the "natives" of 1878 London. The library's librarians are dedicated to preserving the books and their power - with one important caveat: they must never let anyone outside know about its existence. With so much at stake, Sophie becomes caught up in a plot involving ruthless power brokers seeking to use the library for their own ends.
