Adeline Rook lives alone. For as long as she can remember, she has toiled in the endless library called Babel, a place outside of known time, where a chained monster howls in the lowest level and sinister things lurk just beyond the flickering lights. Until she escapes.

Adeline finds herself in a new world, a great and ancient city on the cusp of violent upheaval. There she must tread the halls of the intrigue-riddled Imperial Citadel, while the streets team with revolutionaries and assassins. As she struggles to stay just ahead of the shifting tides of power, she begins to realize that, across the gulfs of space and time, Babel wants her back.

About L.R. Gordan (Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Author)

L.R. Gordan

My pen name is L.R. Gordan, and I am a recently self-published novelist. I grew up in central Michigan , where I still live with my boyfriend and my cat. I have a degree in biology and have spent the past several summers identifying mosquitoes for a living (and now I can sometimes do it with the naked eye!).

I like to take walks down by the river, read, watch silly television shows, spend time with my favorite people, and above all, write. Autumn is my favorite season, and I love the smell of burning leaves and windy nights. I am a boring cook and mainly make pasta or throw things in the crock pot (which make wonderful gifts for the lazy chef in your life).

I plan on writing more novels, and on launching my blog and website soon. I'm really looking forward to connecting with readers and other writers, in the local area and beyond.
