Oltre duecento anni fa bookholm, la città dei libri sognanti, fu distrutta da una catastrofica tempesta di fuoco. Optimus yarnspinner, che fu testimone di questo disastro, è diventato il più grande scrittore di zamonia e si riposa sugli allori al castello di lindworm. Rovinato dal suo monumentale successo e crogiolandosi nell'adulazione, un giorno riceve un messaggio inquietante che finalmente reinveste la sua vita di significato: una lettera criptica che lo attira di nuovo a bookholm. Ricostruita su una scala magnifica, la città è ancora una volta una vivace metropoli letteraria e la mecca del commercio librario brulicante di fanatici dei libri di ogni tipo. Sulle tracce della misteriosa lettera che lo ha portato lì, yarnspinner ha appena messo piede in città che cade preda del suo spirito di avventura. Si riunisce a vecchi amici come inazia anazazi la brutta e ahmed ben kibitzer il notturno, ma incontra anche le nuove meraviglie della città, che includono i misteriosi biblionauti, i burattinai in guerra e l'ultima mania della città, l'invisible theatre. Yarnspinner si addentra sempre di più nel labirinto dei libri sognanti, che sembra esercitare uno strano potere sui destini di bookholm. Alla fine viene trascinato in un irresistibile vortice di eventi molto più sensazionali di qualsiasi avventura in cui si sia imbarcato in precedenza.
