The Librarian's Key to Deadlines and Dragons
(2026)(The first book in the Rowanwid Library series)
A novel by Mary Ashe
When an injury forces her early retirement, ex-Highland Ranger Niven Dunbar is determined to make the most of it. Time for a new chapter, a quiet, safe one filled with gardening, baking, and reading. So there’s no way she’s going to give in when her sister dangles a high-risk quest in front of her. Right?
Turns out Granny left behind a formidable task for her granddaughters: collect a set of uniquely powerful books and return them to an ancient sentient library, one that vanished along with its island behind a magical barrier over a century ago.
Sounds awful. How can she resist?
But then she’s separated from her party, washing up at the feet of the last remaining Guardian of the Rowanwid Library. Handsome and intense, Conall blackmails her into joining him on a desperate mission to revive the library’s spark before it’s extinguished forever.
Together, they must face ravening dark beasts, a devouring blight, sorcerous traps, and the undeniable pull of attraction as they race to save a legendary library and restore magic to the world.
Niven’s retirement — and her heart — will never be the same.
A fun fantasy romance adventure for readers who love:
*A slow burn with plenty of lustful looks
*The strong, silent type
*Touch her and die
*Team up to save the world
*Cute talking animals
*Found family
Genre: Paranormal Romance
