Mira Bergström

About

Mira Bergström is always the first to arrive at the library, her fingers stained with ink from the night before. She hums old folk tunes while reshelving books, her eyes scanning each spine like a familiar friend.

Backstory

Nobody suspected that the library's night janitor had been dead for three years until Mira discovered his spectral form still dutifully cleaning the rare books section, humming the same Norwegian lullabies her grandmother Martha once sang. The ghost, Henrik, had been protecting a collection of living manuscripts—books whose words literally rearranged themselves each night, rewriting history as they pleased. When Martha passed and left Mira the library, she inherited not just dusty shelves but the sacred duty of serving as translator between the restless spirits who haunted the stacks and the enchanted texts they guarded. Her ink-stained fingers came from transcribing their whispered corrections to historical records, ensuring that the true stories survived while the mundane world remained blissfully unaware. Clara, her book club companion, thinks Mira simply works too hard, never suspecting that her friend spends her nights as a mediator between the living and the literarily deceased.
