TV Series 2009-2010

In another time and place, in a world of pain and sorrow, when someone dies, their soul doesn't go to Heaven or Hell – it becomes a book. A book that reveals the deceased's innermost secrets … and can be read by anyone. Protecting these priceless treasures is the elite organization known as the Armed Librarians. It's their job to keep the books and the knowledge within them safe from those who would misuse or destroy them.

It's a tough, dangerous job, so Chief Librarian Hamyuts Maseta recruits only the best and the brightest psychics to join her team of expert fighters. But will they be good enough to stop the fanatics of the Shindeki Church from wrecking vengeance on the entire world? Only time will tell, but that book hasn't been written yet.
