The Immortal Library is one of the Fated places.
Appearance[]
Outside the Library[]
Donatella Dragna spills her blood to enter the library. Once she does, she and Legend's surroundings transform into a sandstone courtyard covered in star jasmine. Half the sky above them is intense with sunlight, while the other half shimmers with stars. At one end of the courtyard is a decorative sandstone arch, which has two statues on either side, made of sparkling peach sand. The lower halves of the statues are feline, while their torsos are human, one male and one female. They have curving horns protruding from their heads.
Inside the Library[]
The Immortal Library is soundless, swallowing up any noise a visitor attempts to make. Near the entrance is an archway made of books. Everything smells of dust trapped in light, cracked leather, and wayward dreams.
There are many different areas in the library, including a ZOO, a BROKEN SPINE CASTLE, an UNREAD RIVER, a RAVINE of RIPPED PAGES, a POETRY VALLEY, a set of NOVEL MOUNTAINS, and the RUSCICA AND BOOKS FOR ADVANCED IMAGINATIONS. The Zoo contains no bookshelves, instead, its volumes roam freely, joining together to take the forms of animals such as rhinos, elephants, giraffes, and bunnies. A Reading Chamber is full of furniture made completely of books, such as a massive throne. Behind the throne is a steep, spiral staircase also made only of books. The stairs are so narrow visitors can only climb them one at a time. They are unsteady and shift beneath the visitor's feet.
The Ruscica room is found at the top of the staircase. It is full of curious books with titles such as MERMAIDS AND MERMEN AND HOW TO BECOME ONE, TEN ESSENTIAL RULES OF TIME TRAVEL, SHAPE-SHIFTING FOR BEGINNERS, TURNING YOUR SHADOW INTO A PET, and LOVE, DEATH AND IMMORTALITY.

Finale[]
Donatella and Legend use the Map of All to find the entrance to the library, hidden in an abandoned sky carriage house. The price Legend and Donatella pay to enter to the library is to be unable to open their mouths and make any sound. This lasts until they leave the library. The Map of All warns Tella not to sit on the throne in the Reading Chamber.
