There is an old legend: long ago, the Creator gave people four words—four magical gifts. That’s how the Weavers, the Shapeshifters, the Healers, and the Storytellers appeared. But when, in one world, there are the Gifted and those to whom magic is powerless, inequality and envy are inevitable.
One day, a powerful king forbade the Gifted to cast spells, so as to protect them from the temptation to rise above ordinary people. And although, for centuries, magic was hunted down in the kingdom of Jero, those capable of weaving spells were still born.
Lark has a special gift: her words possess incredible power. But the gift promises only death—because of it the cruel king Zolte killed her mother. Before dying, Meshara, to protect her daughter, ordered Lark to be silent forever. Yet how hard it is to live in a world full of words when you can’t utter a single one out loud!
Fearful of Lark’s gift, her father tries to keep her away from the world, but it’s in vain—one day the young king Tiras, the son of Zoltev, takes the girl captive. She is locked away again, but she has nothing to fear: Tiras has a kind heart. Still, he keeps one secret: every night the king disappears and returns only in the morning. What monstrous thing is he fighting, and why does he lose again and again? Lark must uncover this riddle and help the king… heal. But will the king hear her words?
