It was a long climb up a dank and mildewy staircase that wound up the 
inside of the Dark Castle's highest tower. In the circular room at the top, 
which was built with mullioned windows looking out in all directions, Nell had 
placed all of the books she had gathered during her quest: books given her as 
presents by Purple, books from the library of King Magpie, the first Faery King 
that she had vanquished, and more from the palace of the djinn, and Castle 
Turing, and many other hidden libraries and treasuries that she had discovered 
or pillaged on her way. And, of course, there was the entire library of King 
Coyote, which contained so many books that she had not even had time to look at 
them yet.
