19B: The Starless Sea

Zachary Ezra Rawlins, a grad student in Vermont, stumbles upon a mysterious book hidden in the library stacks, which contains a story from his own childhood. He follows the symbol inside of the book, a bee, key, and sword, to a party, to a club, and then further through a doorway leading to a magical place akin to a labyrinthine library. Through this journey comes Mirabel, a fierce protector of this magical place, and Dorian, a handsome man with shifting alliances. Amidst this magic is also a battle over such a place, those intent on keeping it safe and those wishing it be destroyed, whilst Zachary just seems intent on discovering what purpose he might have in all of it.
