内容简介

"You've stumbled on to something much larger than you can possibly imagine."

In the dead of night, a cloaked figure drags a heavy box through snow-covered streets. The chest, covered in images of mythical beasts, can only be opened when the fangs of its serpent's-head clasp taste blood.

Centuries later, in an Oxford library, a boy touches a strange book and feels something pierce his finger. The volume is blank, wordless, but its paper has fine veins running through it and seems to quiver, as if it's alive. Words begin to appear on the page--words no one but the boy can see.

And so unfolds a timeless secret . . . .

作者简介

马修·史坎顿

Matthew Skelton

出生于英国，在加拿大长大。牛津大学英国文学博士，是研究书籍与印刷的专家，多年来遍访欧洲的图书馆，一本尘封的旧书引他写出了这本处女作。他目前住在英国与加拿大。

史坎顿在受访时说，这本书的主角，两兄妹布雷克与妲可，在他的脑海里存在了两年多，陪伴他度过一段艰困的岁月。这本书的出版等于让他释放了自己的苦闷灵魂，并与读者分享书本的神秘力量。
