Аннотация

Jevick, the pepper merchant’s son, has been raised on stories of Olondria, a
distant land where books are as common as they are rare in his home. When his
father dies and Jevick takes his place on the yearly selling trip to Olondria,
Jevick’s life is as close to perfect as he can imagine. But just as he revels
in Olondria’s Rabelaisian Feast of Birds, he is pulled drastically off course
and becomes haunted by the ghost of an illiterate young girl.
In desperation, Jevick seeks the aid of Olondrian priests and quickly becomes
a pawn in the struggle between the empire’s two most powerful cults. Yet even
as the country shimmers on the cusp of war, he must face his ghost and learn
her story before he has any chance of becoming free by setting her free: an
ordeal that challenges his understanding of art and life, home and exile, and
the limits of that seductive necromancy, reading.
