In the vertical nightmare of Vespera, the world is not made of rock and water-it is made of Ink and Parchment.
Seventeen-year-old Asher Quill lives in the Stacks, an industrial slum where the "charcoal rain" never stops and every word is monitored by the Scribes. In this city, the Lexicon is law. If the High Scribes decide your house is a typo, it vanishes. If they decide your name is redundant, you are erased from history.
But Asher has a secret that could burn the Lexicon to the ground.
He speaks the "Glitch"-a raw, forbidden slang that can rewrite reality in real-time. When a mysterious golden envelope summons him to the elite Aurelian Institute, Asher is thrust into a lethal series of trials designed to prune the "wasted ink" of society.
Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, The Magicians, and Fourth Wing, Asher Quill and the World of Lies is a mind-bending Urban Fantasy where the pen is more than a weapon, it's the only way to exist.
