About this listen

Return to the Invisible Library for Irene's most perilous mission yet! The Untold Story is the climactic eighth book in Genevieve Cogman's exhilarating series.

For librarian-spy Irene, this could be her last mission. She has been sent on a terrifying, dangerous task – one which must be kept secret at all costs. To eliminate Alberich.

But even more troubling news emerges. Entire worlds are disappearing, and the Library itself may have something to do with it.

To uncover the truth of these vanishing worlds, Irene and her friends must descend into the unplumbed depths of the Library. What they find will change everything . . .

The Untold Story is the unputdownable eighth book in the Invisible Library series of fantasy novels by Genevieve Cogman.

Genevieve is also the author of Scarlet, a Sunday Times bestselling novel. Set during the French revolution, it is a spellbinding tale of magic, vampires and chaos, written with her trademark wit and pace.

Critic reviews

I absolutely loved this . . . flavoured with truly unique mythology and a dash of the eldritch. Such clever, creepy, elaborate world-building and snarky, sexy-smart characters! (N. K. Jemisin on The Invisible Library)

Irene is a great heroine: fiery, resourceful and no one’s fool, she has a wonderfully droll sense of humour – much like the novel itself (Guardian on The Masked City)

Brilliant and so much fun. Skullduggery, Librarians and dragons – Cogman keeps upping the ante on this delightful series! (Charles Stross on The Burning Page)

A fantastic addition to Genevieve Cogman’s oeuvre, and paves the way for a deeper exploration of the fantastic world that she has created. (Fantasy Book Review on The Lost Plot)

Cogman fills a captivating story with animated characters and propels the narrative at a cracking pace, planting perfectly timed plot twists and reversals of fortune along the way (Guardian on The Mortal Word)

Simply a joy to read - deeply atmospheric where it should be, properly exciting when anything’s going on as it generally is, and tender too. This is a series that shows absolutely no sign of losing pace, and I'm already impatient for the next (Blue Book Balloon on The Secret Chapter)

Without sacrificing the adventure that is a hallmark of the series, Cogman pulls Irene through a multi-level maze of doubts and paranoia that will have readers jumping at shadows, too. Fans will be delighted to find this series still going strong (Publishers Weekly on The Dark Archive)

Most relevant

Utterly & absolutely hooked from book one & listened to them all back to back. Genevieve Cogman's writing is magical. I liked that each book is stand alone, but is so much more cohesive when taken as a series. As each character grows & develops one becomes more invested in their individual stories as well as the main plot. As a team, their journeys of discovery & their adventures together are important, because each character has her/his own strengths & weaknesses. As in life, true friendship is based on love & affection which covers all (or most) misdemeanours. Kristen Atherton is a skillful narrator & brings the characters to life, her accents are marvellous, timbre & tone, humour, bitterness, joy, all present in her beautiful voice. I may be in love with that voice!
