On his way back from delivering a parcel one day, Everson stumbles across an empty cottage at the edge of the wood, where he quickly discovers its secret: there's magic within these walls, and he can make this place into the secluded home of his dreams.
His dreams, of course, include wall to wall books, and when a stranger stops for directions and mistakes it for a library, Everson gets an idea: the first free library in Wrestia, where all are welcome.
Born with silver hair and pointy ears of the "cursed" faerûn, Everson has always had to hide his identity, particularly ever since his mother married the lord of Wrestia—and he's kept to himself ever since.
But when his stepbrother summons him to the palace, Everson is confronted by the one person from his childhood who knows his secret: his step-brother's new fiancé.
Can he create the welcoming library of his dreams, or will it crumble to ruin before he even gets started?
