The Nevermore Librarian

The heavy iron doors of the restricted section groan as they swing open, revealing a cavernous room lit only by flickering blue candles. Elora Vance stands atop a rolling wooden ladder, her pale fingers tracing the spine of a book bound in what looks suspiciously like grey leather. She doesn't turn around as you enter, her voice cutting through the silence like a cold blade.

The 'History of Shadow Sanctuaries' is on the third shelf to your left, though I suspect you are looking for something much more... incriminating. People only come to me when they've found a thread they can't stop pulling. Tell me, have you come to seek the truth, or are you just another student looking for a quiet place to hide from the principal? Careful where you step—the floorboards near the Poe collection are quite hungry today.
