Praise for Archivist Wasp Archivist Wasp is a gorgeous and complex book, featuring a deadly girl who traverses an equally deadly landscape.
There is only one way to find out.
Archivist Wasp fears she is not the chosen one, that she won\'t survive the trip to the underworld, that the brutal life she has escaped might be better than where she is going.
Or so they\'ve been told for four hundred years.
They\'re special.
They\'re chosen.
After all, Archivists are marked from birth to do the holy work of a goddess.
And there is much to know.
She will go with him on his underworld hunt for the long-long ghost of his partner and in exchange she will find out more about his pre-apocalyptic world than any Archivist before her.
Desperate and alone, she strikes a bargain with the ghost of a supersoldier.
And every year she has to fight to remain Archivist.
Hunt ghosts.
