Your TBR pile has been unguarded for way too long.

The Tome Guardian is a tiny armored knight with his nose buried in an open book. Tuck him between your favorite spines and your shelf instantly looks like a corner of a candlelit castle library.

  • Made for bookshelves. Lean him against a series, set him on a stack, or give him his own spot on your desk.
  • Two finishes. Polished Silver pops on light shelves. Shadow Black fits dark academia setups.
  • An easy gift for readers. Fantasy fans, romantasy lovers, book club friends, the person who already owns every bookmark.

Want the full scene? Pick The Guardian's Nook above and he comes with a warm-glow Nook Lantern.
