Description
In the kingdom of Qilara, literacy is a rare and closely guarded skill. Raisa was sold into slavery as a child, but her father had taught her to read and write before she was taken away. Now, she is forced to hide this knowledge from her captors, who would kill her if they discovered it. Raisa's life changes when she is chosen to replace the last Tutor-in-training, a position that could mean death for someone with her secret. As she navigates the complexities of palace intrigue and royal politics, Raisa finds herself torn between her loyalty to the king and her growing feelings for Prince Mati. But when she is approached by an underground rebel army, Raisa must decide whether to aid in their fight for freedom or risk everything to protect her own secret. As Raisa struggles with this impossible choice, she uncovers a centuries-old secret that could bring the kingdom to its knees. With her future hanging in the balance, Raisa must use all her wits and cunning to survive in a world where the written word is a powerful tool of control.
