Where the dead rest like books on shelves.

The Archived isn't just about the delicate balance between life and death—it's a tapestry that weaves mystery with the supernatural, as Mackenzie Bishop shoulders the responsibility of a Keeper in an imaginative library of the deceased. Schwab's narrative is not just a chilling thriller; it examines profound themes and will resonate with you long after you've turned the final page. If you're intrigued by the idea of a unique moral universe and enjoy unraveling altered histories alongside a complex protagonist, Mackenzie's journey is one you won't want to miss.

Description

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was: a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive. Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous—it's a constant reminder of those Mac has lost, Da's death was hard enough, but now that her little brother is gone too, Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself may crumble and fall. In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit, unbearable loss and hard-won redemption.
