Description
Ansul was once a peaceful town filled with libraries, schools and temples. But that was long ago, before the Alds came. The Alds believe demons hide in words, and so they ban reading and writing, acts now punishable by death. What few books have survived are hidden in the Waylord's House for safekeeping, in the care of the Waylord—crippled by years of torture—and the daughter of his heart, Memer.
Now times are changing. The Uplands poet Orrec Caspro and his wife Gry have arrived, and in his voice is a clarion call, awakening a conquered people.
Voices is a haunting and gripping coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of violence, intolerance and magic.
