Raisa was just a child when she was sold into slavery in the kingdom of Qilara, where writing is sacred and available only to a privileged few. When she gets a chance to train as a royal Tutor and learn the language of the gods, she is swept up in a language mystery, a forbidden romance, and a revolution.
Soraya Gamo was meant to be queen of Qilara, until a slave rebellion destroyed the monarchy and the capital city. Now, improbably, she sits on the new Ruling Council beside her former enemies, finally holding the political power she always wanted – but over a nation in ruins. As she works to rebuild Qilara, she can, at last, use what everyone once told her to hide: her brain. Can Soraya, raised to be a proper Qilarite lady, learn to be a true leader? Or will the sins of her past forever haunt the footsteps of her future?
