The Scholar's Apprentice

The Scholar's Apprentice

Secret of the Valor Lexicon (First Chapter)

About the Book

The world the Scribes inhabit is called the subspace. The subspace is a world where creation fills the air, making paintings come off of the canvas and stories take over the reality around you at will.

Stories in particular hold Ti'ere's (tee-eh-ray) world together which has been torn apart for hundreds of years in the war caused by the Reformation. In the current era, recovering from the near annihilation caused when many books were destroyed or their original storylines altered, all the ethnic groups have divided and quarrel over what literatures should be printed, recovered, transcribed, translated, or reprinted to sustain and enrich their society but also to keep the peoples alive via their histories and cultures. All their efforts are shattered when it seems rebel factions have attacked the Tower in the night to invade the fountain of knowledge known as the Limitless Library, killing all who stand in their way.

Octavia entrusts to Ti'ere (now known by her Title, Sun Star) a legendary object of great importance: the Valor lexicon. Lexicons are passed from Scholar to Apprentice once the Apprentice takes the place of their teachers on the Council and are sacred objects belonging to the peoples of the subspace.

Pursued by a ruthless and powerful adversary who will stop at nothing to get all of the lexicons, Sun Star must use all her own power, even those which are forbidden, to discover the secret of the lexicons and the Tower. With the help of her childhood friends, dedicated allies, and partners of chance, they brave the onslaught of another war in the subspace, the last war which could change their reality (permanently) forever.
