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. 0aArchivistsvFiction926516 0aTranslatorsvFiction926517 0aPriestsvFiction926518 0aRevolutionariesvFiction926519 0aEnvironmental disastersvFiction926520 0aDystopiasvFiction924119 0aImaginary wars and battlesvFiction924133 0aApocalyptic fiction926521 0aThrillers (Fiction)92266908iPrint version :z9780356514758  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-11-14l0oP-EN NORpB06045r2025-11-14t1w2025-11-14y1  c5183d5183
