Summary:
"Nepenthe, an orphan, is a scribe and translator in the royal library of Raine. Then, during the coronation of the new queen of Raine, a young mage brings her a book written in a language of thorns that no one can read. Discovering its secret becomes her obsession. Meanwhile, the young queen must deal with courtiers who seek to profit from her youth and inexperience. Her search for usable knowledge brings her secretly to the library. An old epic of forgotten times may have something to say of the fate of Raine, if the facts behind the poetry can be found"--Booklist.
