“The Archives smell like parchment, book-binding glue, and ink. They smell like home.” –Violet Sorrengail (Yarros 207)
The Archives are a place where Violet spent a lot of time with her dad before he passed away. It’s a place she feels safe and grounded. Not only are the Archives a physical place, but the Archives are a metaphysical place where Violet goes in her mind in order to calm and ground her emotions. The Archives have either a copy or the original of almost every book in Navarre.
Rows of twenty-foot-high shelves run the length of the cavernous structure. Only scribes may pass through the entrance.
