What happens

With Ferdinand gone and the political order under strain, Rozemyne works to protect Ehrenfest while pursuing the knowledge needed to change the kingdom. Royal authority, rival duchies, ancient records, and the gods draw her into conflicts far beyond bookmaking. The completed main story follows those conflicts through their resolution and the founding of a new library city.
