The story revolves around a young librarian named Lucile Tucker, who encounters a mysterious child in a university library at midnight.

At the start of the novel, Lucile experiences an unsettling incident when she discovers a child in the library. Intrigued and concerned, she embarks on an investigation to understand the child's motives, which leads her to uncover deeper mysteries involving stolen valuable editions of Shakespeare and other books. As Lucile navigates friendships, her duties, and the unfolding drama surrounding the child, she grapples with moral dilemmas and the distinction between right and wrong, ultimately aiming to protect the innocent while unearthing larger secrets that connect the enigmatic child with a world of rare literature.
