Enter a world in which a sentient library is guarded by the very last sphinx - an orphan who has been permanently disabled by villains intent on stealing her power... moreEnter a world in which a sentient library is guarded by the very last sphinx - an orphan who has been permanently disabled by villains intent on stealing her power. Will she be able to survive the politics and danger of the supernatural community when she knows nothing about it or her true nature? Can she convince her unlikely guardians - a blind vampire, a dyslexic alpha shifter, a ghost, and a dangerously powerful but absent-minded mage and prophet - to assist her? Having spent the last seven years in an orphanage, Zosia is shocked when someone tells her she's a sphinx and the last guardian of the sentient library of Supernaturals. The elite academy which houses the powerful library rejects her because she isn't perfect, but she knows instantly that the library is where she belongs. She ignores the academy's decree and gathers others around her - four guardians who are just as perfectly imperfect as she is. But her powers, ability to shift, and strength are blocked by the memories she fears accessing - memories of torture and horrible acts which caused permanent damage to her body. When the library is all that stands between two ignorant factions trying to cause a war, it's up to her and her guardians to prevent it. First, she must overcome her greatest fear. She must believe in herself. *This book has been revised for clarity and continuity August 2023* ***This book is a reverse harem, why choose, slow-burn adventure romance.
