{"product_id":"tomb-of-the-queen-jayne-thorne-cia-librarian-1","title":"Tomb of the Queen (Jayne Thorne, CIA Librarian, 1)","description":"For readers who've always suspected librarians have the most dangerous jobs-and want to watch one level up from researcher to magical operative.\n\nWhat if your research project accidentally gave you access to a magical dimension-and launched you into a global conspiracy that would require more than just brains to survive?\n\nJayne Thorne is living her best quiet life: tea, books, and the Vanderbilt archives. Then she touches the wrong manuscript and everything changes. What starts as an academic problem-decoding an ancient spell book-quickly becomes a matter of survival when a magic-wielding terror organization marks her for death.\n\nHer only option: join a secret branch of the CIA and go undercover at Trinity College Library in Dublin to investigate whether the Book of Leinster is actually a necromantic grimoire. This is the mission that will transform her from cataloger to operative-and reveal she's capable of far more than she ever imagined.\n\nThis book delivers: The thrill of discovering you're more powerful than you knew A fish-out-of-water heroine who weaponizes her research skills (at first) Irish libraries, necromantic grimoires, and a kickboxing love interest An origin story that promises escalation-Jayne starts clever and ends formidable The setup for a five-grimoire quest where the stakes get progressively more epic\n\nPerfect for readers who want Discovery of Witches-style magical academia with Mercy Thompson's action pace-and a protagonist who evolves from treating ancient spell books like the research problem they are to leading missions against supernatural threats.\n\nWhat makes this series different: Jayne doesn't start as a warrior. She starts as a scholar. But by Book 6, she'll be facing down gods. This is the beginning of that journey-where intelligence is your greatest weapon, but you're about to discover you have other powers too.\n\nIf you've been waiting for urban fantasy that respects your intelligence while delivering genuine high-stakes adventure, start here. Jayne's learning curve is your learning curve, and the magical world-building only gets richer (and more dangerous) from here.\n\nBook 1 stands alone but sets up an escalating six-book arc where a quiet librarian becomes the magical world's last hope.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1948967340\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1948967340.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Walker, Joss|Klapheke, Alisha\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
