Fire and Ink, Fire and Ink

Control the Ink, Control the World Fresh off his alliance with the dragon hunters and defeat of Farston Leamina, Baz rushes back to Erstwhile with dire tidings for his brother-the Indomitable Army is on its way. When Baz arrives, he finds a city still in ruins, and Tax seems to have spent more time plotting assassinations than building a new society. Then Baz is arrested. Life in Erstwhile hasn't been easy since the Book Dragons attacked. Before that, Annel was just an angry youth seeking retribution against an uncaring society. Then Oges was killed and Baztian left her in charge of the rebel underground. She hates him for that-Annel had doubts aplenty before she was responsible for hundreds of lives. Forget rebellion, it's been difficult enough keeping everyone fed. Compounding matters are the scars of her past, lurking just beneath the surface. When the Conservators attack, Baz and Annel begrudgingly unite to give the rebellion a fighting chance. Their plan? An audacious heist, one they hope will net them the key to creating new Spoken Books. But dire obstacles await them both. Annel must face the man who ruined her childhood and still haunts her memories, while Baz is pitted against Leanna, the woman he loves and leader of his enemies. Return to the land of Oration and discover if Baz and Annel can overcome their demons and save Oration's rebellion from annihilation!
