Twelve-year-old Mosca Mye hasn't got much. Her cruel uncle
keeps her locked up in his mill, and her only friend is her
pet goose, Saracen, who'll bite anything that crosses his
path. But she does have one small, rare thing: the ability
to read. She doesn't know it yet, but in a world where books
are dangerous things, this gift will change her life. Enter Eponymous Clent, a smooth-talking con man who seems to
love words nearly as much as Mosca herself. Soon Mosca and
Clent are living a life of deceit and danger -- discovering
secret societies, following shady characters onto floating
coffeehouses, and entangling themselves with crazed dukes
and double-crossing racketeers. It would be exactly the kind
of tale Mosca has always longed to take part in, until she
learns that her one true love -- words -- may be the death
of her.
