β¦ Synopsis
Faelin Keetley has kept secrets all her life: she can read, a skill that none but the Conjurers are allowed. And she has taken over bookbinding jobs from her father, when women on the Bridge are forbidden professions.
Her fatherβs death leaves Faelin with even more dangerous secrets. His last words were a spell, and all his life heβs been hiding a room full of hundreds of spellbooks.
Worse, his death leaves her to the mercies of the ConjurersΒ and the traditions of the Bridge. Denied her livelihood and facing an arranged marriage or death, Fae takes an ancient family journal and escapes, determined to build a new life for herself.
But Faeβs secrets are catching up with her, and the Conjurers will do anything to discover them.
