“Words are seeds. Some produce flowers, some produce thorns, and some produce poison.”
— From the novel
In a kingdom where magical words can bring ruin and gift-bearers are hunted to extinction, young Lark watched her mother executed for possessing magic. With her dying breath, Lark's mother bound Lark to absolute silence to protect her: "Swallow your words, Lark. If you speak, they will kill you."
Years later, young King Tiras takes Lark as a hostage to ensure her cruel father’s loyalty. In Tiras's fortress, Lark discovers secrets about the King’s own hidden curse and the impending war threatening their land. As their bond deepens, Lark must decide whether unleashing her forbidden voice is the only way to save the man she loves.
