In the city of Aethelgard, written language is literal magic. The hierarchical Inkwell Guilds rule through rigid Scriptcraft, controlling reality through precise grammar and genre-binding spells. In this world, an unwritten word is a powerless one-until Elian Vox.
A lowly street performer, Elian discovers he possesses a volatile, long-forgotten gift: Oralism. By speaking stories aloud, he can manifest magic that is unpredictable, emotional, and entirely uncontainable by the Council of Scribes. Branded a threat to the natural order, Elian is hunted by Master Scriptor Thorne and his ink-bound assassins. To survive, he must team up with Virelle Quist, a jaded librarian who guards the forbidden Lexicon Vault. Together, they must protect the future of storytelling before the Council erases Elian's voice forever.
