THE
BOOK OF THE
SEVEN
DELIGHTS
Abigail Merchant is determined to prove her worth as a librarian to the stodgy old men running the British Museum.
When she uncovers the journals of an eccentric scholar in the museum basement, she sees the opportunity to earn
the curators' respect and vows to complete the old boy's search for the remnants of the Great Library of
Alexandria . . . even if she has to go all the way to Timbuktu to do it.
Drawing on her inheritance, Abigail travels on her own to Casablanca, where her quest becomes entangled with the
fate of a handsome ex-legionnaire with a murky past and a questionable future. Arrogant, brash Apollo Smith
hardly inspires trust . . . but he certainly inspires un-librarian-like thoughts. Battling a host of vengeful
legionnaires, angry nomads, and even the great Sahara itself, they discover the remnants of the great library . . .
and a scroll with the power to change both of their lives forever . . . The Book of the Seven Delights.
