Description
In the heart of Oxford, a city of ancient learning and power, a secret institution holds sway. Babel, the Royal Institute of Translation, is a tower of knowledge and progress, its influence felt throughout the Empire. But for one young orphan, this supposed paradise becomes a prison. A story of language, colonialism, and resistance, Babel is a dark and riveting tale of the power of words and the violence of empire. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century England, this novel explores the complexities of power and the sacrifices that come with challenging the status quo. With its masterful blend of fantasy and historical fiction, Babel is a stark picture of the cruelty of empire, a distillation of dark academia, and a riveting read that will leave you pondering the true cost of knowledge and power.
