Three young people and a one-eyed raven join forces to fight against the oppressive regime that restricts the gift of reading to an elite few and aims to squash magic.
Getwin is a bookbinder working from dawn till dusk with her mother at Raven’s Eye Bookbindery. Joane is a scribe, living in a monastic-style castle, where she and other girls are forced to copy manuscripts until their fingers bleed. Buckle is Getwin’s loyal and close friend.
When Joane escapes her prison-like life and the soporific tea that drugs her, she is rescued by Getwin and Buckle. They go in search of Getwin’s mother, who has been taken by the regime.
They encounter many dangers and must travel through a fearful city and a magical forest.
Will they find her safe? And what is the terrible truth behind everything they think they know about their world?
