Lore is a human trapped in her city thanks to fae magic. After a devastating earthquake, she is taken from her home in order to help the fae organize their library. The room is enchanted so no fae can enter and Lore has the unique ability to read their language so she accepts the job for coin and the safety of her family. 
Over time she becomes friendly with her guard, which is a blessing because she gets in trouble when she tries to leave the castle with a magic book— One day while she was working, she found herself being called into a dark corner of the library. Behind beautiful tapestries was an equally beautiful book that was calling her name. 


I thought this book was rather average up until the end — something happened that I didn’t expect and it made the story so much better. I think I’m just a little burnt out on the human/faerie romance stories right now. 
But the idea of organizing a library a finding a book that gave me moon-magic is a dream come true!
