| Summary |
Seventeen years ago, before Memer was born, her home, the city of Ansul, was besieged by the Alds. They destroyed all the books they could find. But Memer lives in the house of the Oracle, with its hidden library--and she has learned how to read. She lives in fear of the Alds discovering her secret, until one day an uplands poet named Orrec and his wife, Gry, arrive and everything in Memer's life begins to change. |
