Mosca Mye's ability to read sets her apart in an imaginary eighteenth-century realm where books and knowledge are tightly controlled. After rescuing captured con man and fellow wordsmith Eponymous Clent, she follows him to the capital city and becomes embroiled in revolutionary intrigue. Mosca's love of words is a powerful theme, augmenting this complex novel of schemes and secrets.
