Imagine a world where words are so precious they are only etched in
gold, and only the privileged are allowed to learn how to read. Muirwood
Abbey is one of the few places where learners are taught to read and
engrave, and thirteen year-old Lia wants nothing more than to learn both
of these skills—yet she is a wretched, an orphan, and doomed to remain
in the Aldermaston’s kitchen, forbidden to read and subject to his
authority. Her future is destined for preparing recipes in a privileged
household until, unexpectedly, a mysterious knight-maston abandons the
wounded squire Colvin at the Aldermaston’s kitchen in the middle of the
night. Soon after, Sheriff Almaguer comes hunting for Colvin, and Lia is
thrust into the greatest adventure of her life as she and the squire
are forced into a partnership that brings her closer to her dream—and
Colvin closer to his fear of dying on the battlefield. The Wretched of
Muirwood is the first book of the Muirwood Trilogy.
