Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues - a bee, a key and a sword - that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club and through a doorway to an ancient library, hidden far below the surface of the earth. And so the son of the fortune teller does not find his way to the Starless Sea. The Starless Sea is a place where stories are kept and where they originate. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. This first description of the Starless Sea sets the tone for the ultimate setting and confirms the novel’s magical realism.
