The second book in Isabel Ibañez’s Secrets of the Nile series, Where the Library Hides is a YA historical fantasy set in late-1800s Egypt. The story follows the rivals-to-lovers romance—and marriage of convenience—between protagonist Inez Olivera and former nemesis, Whitford Hayes, as they navigate betrayal, ancient magic, and a dangerous quest for answers about her parents’ deaths.
