β¦ Synopsis
In the future, books are a distant memory. The written word has been replaced by an ever-present stream of images known as Verity. In the controlling dominion of the United Vales of Fell, reading is obsolete and forbidden, and readers themselves do notοΏ½cannotοΏ½exist. But where others see images in the stream, teenager Noelle Hartley sees words. SheοΏ½s obsessed with what they mean, where they came from, and why they found her. NoelleοΏ½s been keeping her dangerous fixation with words a secret, but on the night before her seventeenth birthday, a rare interruption in the stream leads her to a mysterious volume linked to an underworld of rebel book lovers known as the Nine of the Rising. With the help of the Risers and the beguiling boy Ledger, Noelle discovers that the words within her are precious clues to the books of the earlier timeοΏ½and as a child of their bookless age, she might be the worldοΏ½s last hope of bringing them back. Blood, Ink & Fire is a gripping, evocative tale that asks, who would we be without books?
