Farilane

In a world gripped by imperial decree where the act of reading is forbidden and knowledge itself a dangerous weapon, Farilane, an unwanted twin born into the empire's ruling dynasty, charts her own perilous course. Forsaking the traditional path of royalty, she transforms into a revered scholar, a fearless adventurer, and a clandestine hunter of illicit texts. Her life's singular, all-consuming obsession is the pursuit of the mythical Book of Brin—a tome not merely lost to time, but deliberately buried and erased from history. Though she is held in high esteem and deeply beloved by the legendary Teshlor Knights, even their formidable prowess might not be enough to safeguard her. For as Farilane delves deeper into the shadows of the past, she unearths a truth more dangerous and profoundly unsettling than any forbidden lore she originally sought, irrevocably altering her perception of the world and her place within it. This gripping epic fantasy explores themes of forbidden knowledge, destiny, and the enduring power of untold stories.
