From the New York TimesandUSA Today bestselling author, Michael J. Sullivan, comes a tale of unlikely heroes who must rise to the call when history knocks, demanding to be let in. Farilane is a scholar, adventurer, and—in a time when reading is forbidden—a hunter of books.

Her singular obsession is finding the mythical Book of Brin, a tome not just lost but intentionally buried. Although she is respected and beloved by the Teshlor Knights, not even their legendary skills can protect her, for what she finds is more dangerous than what she sought. In Farilane we learn that some truths are dangerous, certain secrets best concealed, and one story never should have been written at all.
