Book 3 of The Library Saga

Every story has a beginning… but what if the beginning was the flaw?

When the Library fractures under the weight of algorithmic forces, the companions are thrust into a gauntlet of corrupted genres — sitcoms, fairy tales, mysteries, pulp war novels, and even the library’s own foundations. Each shard hunt becomes a parody of pop culture, but also a mirror of the heroes themselves: the Princess trapped in glass crowns, the Marine saluted by mannequins, the Detective’s notebook writing without her, the Sitcom Dad haunted by laugh tracks.

As the Arcane Archivist’s echo grows stronger, the group realizes the shards aren’t just fragments of story — they’re pieces of the library’s origin. The final keystone lies in the Founder’s Wing, where the library began on a faultline of narrative convergence. To save what remains, they must tear out the very heart of the library, knowing the victory may destroy it.

The Unwritten Fallout is Book 4 of The Library Saga, a genre-bending ensemble novel that bridges the collapse of canon with the rise of chaos. It sets the stage for the character spotlight novels to come — where myth, bureaucracy, and metafiction collide.

In the Library, every story is tested. Some are judged, some are erased, and some are forced to endure their longest day.

Alexandria thought she knew the rules of survival: endure the trials, cling to faith, and keep walking. But when the Library turns its gaze fully upon her, she's thrust into a gauntlet of judgment halls, forgotten shelves, and suffocating silences that threaten to erase her voice forever. Haunted by migraines that blur reality and faith that steadies her steps, she must face the Library's cruelest truth — it doesn't just want to test her, it wants to rewrite her.

And as the Library fractures, its corruption spills outward. Council hearings glitch into game shows, newsrooms dissolve into narrative loops, and the town itself starts glitching. Reality itself begins to unravel, pulling Alexandria, Bonnie, Dewey, and a cast of reshelved fragments into a world where every headline is suspect and every arc is up for grabs.
