The Great Library of Tomorrow
Book of Wisdom Trilogy
Rosalia Aguilar Solace
Helia has served as the Sage of Hope for the Great Library of Tomorrow for centuries. She is one of the chosen few who embody and protect the values of humanity across the numerous realms of Paperworld, which are connected within the Library itself via magical Portals controlled by the Book of Wisdom.
But even her hope is tested when she and her partner Xavier, the Sage of Truth, are attacked while visiting the famous Rose Garden in the realm of Silvyra. Wounded and in shock amidst a storm of fire, they are confronted by a deadly figure known to them as the Ash Man. With the Garden destroyed and its dragon protector missing, Xavier sacrifices his life so that Helia can return home to warn the other Sages.
But there she finds the Book of Wisdom—always a guide to the Sages—eerily silent. With the Ash Man gaining strength, Helia soon finds herself in a race against time, searching for clues to the origins of their foe—and any possible way to defeat him.
Fueled by the same collaborative heart and boundless imagination that dazzle millions of devoted Tomorrowland followers and festivalgoers every year, The Great Library of Tomorrow is perfect for fans of The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin and Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn.

‘Exuberant and inventive, The Great Library of Tomorrow is an epic, worlds-spanning adventure that is too full of heart to have any room for cynicism. A joyous paean to the power of stories.’
‘Irresistibly imaginative! Rosalia Aguilar Solace has crafted an epic tale full of hope and light and wonder, with a magnificent magical library at its heart! You’re in for a treat!’
‘The way this book succeeds is in the atmosphere and the fantasy of spending your days in a library with a little companion in rapt contemplation…That atmosphere is really beautifully realised…[There are] so many world-building ideas in this that I really loved.’
‘As a creator myself I can see the love and passion that has been poured into the book, the inspiration and dedication to making this not just a great story, but an event.’
‘A brilliant epic fantasy novel…An absolute blast to read and should be perfect for fans of Mark Lawrence’s Library Trilogy!’
‘A pleasure to read…This story does not shy away from violence or heartbreak, but also carries an undercurrent of hope throughout…If you enjoy exciting quests set in a gorgeous magical/steampunk library dimension (let’s be honest, who wouldn’t?), definitely give The Great Library of Tomorrow a try.’
