Ven was once a holy man, a keeper of ancient archives. It was his duty to interpret archaic texts, sorting useful knowledge from the heretical ideas of the Burning Age – a time of excess and climate disaster. For in Ven’s world, such material must be closely guarded, so that the ills that led to that cataclysmic era can never be repeated.

But when the revolutionary Brotherhood approaches Ven, pressuring him to translate stolen writings that threaten everything he once held dear, his life will be turned upside down. Torn between friendship and faith, Ven must decide how far he’s willing to go to save this new world, and how much he is willing to lose. 0aArchivistsvFiction 0aTranslatorsvFiction 0aPriestsvFiction 0aRevolutionariesvFiction 0aEnvironmental disastersvFiction 0aDystopiasvFiction 0aImaginary wars and battlesvFiction 0aApocalyptic fiction 0aThrillers (Fiction)08iPrint version :z9780356514758
