The Index of Lost Doors
When a quiet cataloguer at Inverness’s oldest library discovers that certain misfiled books are actually doors in disguise, she is pulled into a hidden system of routes, names and obligations buried beneath the city. Her attempt to put everything back in order only makes the breach wider, especially once she realises the library has been keeping its own secrets for decades.
