Synopsis

Jevick, the pepper merchant’s son from a rural island, fulfills his lifelong dream of traveling to the great empire of Olondria. But when a ghost attaches itself to him, he becomes caught between warring religious factions — one that worships through writing and one through oral tradition — in this lush, literary fantasy about the power of books.
