Samenvatting
The follow-up to the fan-favorite A Conspiracy of Truths reveals the authors stunning prose, beautiful worldbuilding, and emotional detail, (Library Journal, starred review) and serves as a timely reminder that the words we wield can bring destructionor salvation.
Three years ago, Yfling watched his master-Chant tear a nation apart with nothing but the words on his tongue. Now Ylfing is all alone in a new realm, brokenhearted and grievingbut a Chant in his own right, employed as a translator to a wealthy merchant of luxury goods, Sterre de Waeyer. But Ylfing has been struggling to come to terms with what his master did, with the audiences hes been alienated from, and with the stories he can no longer trust himself to tell.
That is, until Ylfings employer finds out what he is, what he does, and what he knows. At Sterres command, Ylfing begins telling stories once more, fanning the city into a mania for a few shipments of an exotic flower. The prices skyrocket, but when disaster looms, Ylfing must face what he has done and decide who he wants to be: a man who walks away and lets the city shatter, as his master did? Or will he embrace the power of stories to save ten thousand lives?
In this wise, moving, and captivating adventure ( Publishers Weekly, starred review), a young storyteller must embrace his own skills and discover that a story can be powerful enough to bring a nation to its knees, certainly. But in the right hands, a story can rebuild a broken dam, keep the floodwaters back, and save a lifeor thousands of lives.
