Knowledge is power. Literally. And someone just made her the most dangerous girl in the building. The Glyph Thief
Series: The Riddle Archivists, Book 1
by Sable Fox In a world where knowledge exists as physical artifacts called Glyphs, sixteen-year-old Naia Mendoza is a secret. She can read Glyphs by touch - a gift that should have earned her a place at the Athenaeum, the elite academy carved into a mountain where the world's most dangerous knowledge is kept. Instead, she has spent her life hiding in the slums of Ashfall, because undocumented Archivists don't get scholarships. They get prison cells. When a stolen Glyph containing a world-breaking secret is planted on Naia, she is offered a choice: enter the Athenaeum on a fabricated scholarship and find who planted it, or face imprisonment for possessing knowledge she was never authorized to hold. Inside, she discovers an academy where corridors rearrange based on stored knowledge, every student is trained to extract secrets, and she is the biggest secret in the building. Her assigned partner - Cael Ashwick, a legacy student with ice in his veins and grief he won't explain - suspects she is hiding something from her first day.

Her assigned partner - Cael Ashwick, a legacy student with ice in his veins and grief he won't explain - suspects she is hiding something from her first day.
He is right. She is hiding everything. Now Naia must decode the planted Glyph, uncover a conspiracy that reaches the Athenaeum's highest levels, and survive a school where the price of knowledge is memory and every answer she finds costs her a piece of herself she cannot get back. The Glyph Thief is the first book in a fantasy series for readers who love dark academia, enemies-to-lovers slow burns, and the kind of world-building you can get lost in.
