About this audiobook

Read by AudioFile Golden Voice and award-winning narrator, Hillary Huber.

A mysterious library holds the secrets to the universe . . .


Carolyn knows she’s a little bit . . . odd. But that's only natural when she’s spent her life locked away in an infinite Library, forced to study at the feet of the man who might be God.

Now, Father is missing – perhaps dead – and the Library stands unguarded. And with it, control over all creation. As Carolyn prepares for a battle to control the Library, fierce competitors align against her, all of them with powers that exceed her own.

But Carolyn has accounted for this. And Carolyn has a plan. But can she retain the things that make her human?

Brilliantly plotted, darkly funny, and truly epic in scope, The Library at Mount Char is the acclaimed fantasy debut and word-of-mouth cult sensation by Scott Hawkins.

Now available for the first time in digital audio in the UK, Mount Char signals the return of a major voice in fantasy.
Don't miss Blacktail, the long-awaited second novel, over a decade in the making.
