Ship of Papyrus and War

By: Phillips, Mandi

Disguised inside the castle, the resistance schemes to reclaim what belongs to them. Nina continues her facade of a dutiful bride in order to save the illegal words inked on her skin. And Zeke is determined to smuggle her from his brother, even if it means wearing the garb of a silver soldier. But dark forces, human and otherworldly, work against Nina and Zeke.

A war will be waged in the corrupt city of darkness that feels like a living entity, where the Scroll is held hostage and the Chancellor wrestles something unseen. Zeke will tear the world apart to save Nina. But he cannot do it alone.

He'll need the mute Tattooist hunted for murder, the redeemed Assassin who once haunted the brothels, the Warrior burning with holy vengeance, the Sharpshooter with a forgotten past, a rescued Slave who uses the sacred to mend, and a Tribeswoman who dares to herald what is coming.

Because the Scroll will not be saved by one hero...

It will take a rebellion.
