About this book
Knowledge is a crime, and power is a secret—until Kellen learns to print it. In the iron-fisted city of Oakhaven, Kellen is just a print shop apprentice, his days spent setting type for the Ministry's lies. But his fingers, stained with ink and grime, hold a dangerous secret: the presses can forge more than paper. He can mass-produce spellbooks, shattering the guilds' monopoly on magic and turning every printed page into a weapon against the state. Now the most dangerous man in a city that crushes dissent, Kellen must decide if his revolution will ignite a new dawn or burn the world to ash. The first move is always the deadliest.
