Bloodreina: Words once laid cannot be unwritten.

Some stories are hidden because they are dangerous. Others are hidden because they are true. When Bloodreina is summoned before the Court of Parchment, she expects to find answers. Instead, she finds questions.Raised beyond the city's walls among books, wildflowers, and the stories her mother left behind, Bloodreina has spent her life believing that truth belongs to everyone.

Recorded and controlled by Writers and Editors, who decide which stories are remembered, which are forgotten, and which are never to be told at all.Chosen for a series of mysterious Trials, Bloodreina is drawn into a world of secrets, corruption, impossible choices, and truths buried deeper than anyone was ever meant to reach.
