Six centuries since a global revolution and a devastating series of plagues and famines shattered modern civilization, humanity now struggles for survival. In the small village of Klen, even basic literacy and cultural knowledge have faded into obscurity, entrusted solely to the memory of the esteemed Guardian of the Word.
The arrival of a foundling—an abandoned child named Lanya, escaped from a distant city the people of Klen didn’t even know existed—threatens to upend their existence. The child brings the shocking realization of a broader world that exists where remnants of the lost knowledge from the Before Time are preserved.
Determined to resurrect the fallen civilization's wisdom, the passionate and headstrong apprentice to the Guardian, Kallian Dorn, sets out to Lanya's city. But his reckless actions could ultimately shatter the very foundations of belief held sacred by the people of Klen. As boundaries blur and old truths crumble, an exhilarating battle for truth and survival unfolds, forever altering the destiny of their shattered world.
Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman! The second book in Gordon Bonnet's epic trilogy, Arc of the Oracles.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Six hundred years have passed since a worldwide revolution, followed by a devastating series of plagues and famines, collapsed modern civilization.The remnants of humanity, without the safety and security provided by technology, are forced back to the daily fight for survival. In the tiny village of Klen-peopled by the descendants of the little group that escaped Seattle before the earthquake and flood destroyed it-even the ability to read and write were lost, and all their cultural knowledge is entrusted to the memory of one person, the Guardian of the Word.Then the appearance of a foundling-a little girl named Lanya, escaped from a distant city the people of Klen didn't even know existed-threatens to change everything.She brings to them the most dangerous thing in the world: ideas. The awareness that outside their protected, isolated little enclave, there is a wider world, in which some of the learning of the Before Time has been preserved. And when the Guardian's apprentice, young, headstrong Kallian Dorn, becomes determined to go to Lanya's city to see if he can resurrect the lost knowledge of a fallen civilization, his actions may be the catalyst to overturning everything the people of Klen believe.
