Dantalian no Shoka - Six months ago, Lord Hugh Anthony Disward, also known as Huey, lost his eccentric grandfather, Sir Wesley Disward, who was a renowned collector of rare books. His grandfather's will states that, in order to inherit his manor and everything inside it, he must take guardianship over the Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian—an archive that contains forbidden knowledge—and also take care of a mysterious girl called Dalian. As Huey settles into the manor, an old rival of his grandfather's arranges a meeting with him. Dalian, knowing the rival to be Wesley's killer, tags along and discovers that the murderer is in possession of a Phantom Book—a cursed tome that Wesley tried to seal away. When the book puts the two in danger, Huey discovers that the Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian and Dalian are one and the same, and she entrusts Huey with the key to unlocking the knowledge stored within her. Together, Dalian and Huey seal the book away, and thus begins an unlikely partnership as they solve mysteries caused by other Phantom Books. ダンタリアンの書架 - かつて所領の半分を一冊の稀覯本と引き替えにしたほどの好事家であり蒐書狂の祖父は、古ぼけた屋敷とそこに納められた蔵書の全てを青年ヒューイに残した。 条件は一つだけ、『書架』を引き継げ――と。 遺品整理に屋敷を訪れたヒューイは、うずたかくほんの積まれた地下室で、静かに本を読む少女と出会う。 漆黒のドレスに身を包んだ少女は、胸に大きな錠前を隠し持っていた。 それこそは禁断の幻書を納める“ダンタリアンの書架"への入り口、悪魔の叡智への扉だった――。
