Come molte sue coetanee, Irene è una ragazza sveglia e piena di vita, eppure c'è qualcosa che la rende davvero speciale: lavora come spia per conto di una società segreta - la Biblioteca Invisibile - e viaggia attraverso dimensioni alternative per recuperare libri oscuri e misteriosi, sconosciuti ai più. Ad affiancarla c'è il suo enigmatico assistente, il bel Kai, con il quale viene spedita in una Londra vittoriana per rintracciare un volume molto pericoloso.

Mentre sta lavorando sotto copertura in una insolita e caotica Londra vittoriana, Irene Winters, spia della società segreta la Biblioteca Invisibile, scopre che il suo assistente Kai è scomparso, rapito dalla fazione dei fae, creature fatte di caos e magia, capaci di mutare forma e provocare disordini nei mondi corrotti. Considerando il legame di Kai con i draghi, acerrimi avversari dei fae, le ripercussioni del suo rapimento potrebbero essere fatali, non solo per il suo amico ma per interi mondi: Irene deve salvarlo e scongiurare l'Armageddon a ogni costo.
