They were utterly stunning, and people began to take notice – if the Borough Press were willing to spend this much on just the ARCs, on the copies given away for free, they must be confident in the content.

Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing discovery: one of them has his name on it. In a vault under his mentor’s workshop, row upon row of books and memories are meticulously stored and recorded. Your past will be stored safely in a book and you will never remember your secret, however terrible. If there’s something you need to erase, he can assist. If there’s something you want to forget, he can help. He will learn to hand-craft beautiful volumes, and within each he will capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory. He will work for a Bookbinder, a vocation that arouses fear, superstition and prejudice but one neither he nor his parents can afford to refuse.
