Summary:

Ever since Adriana was young, she was enthralled with the power of words, the ability to record thought, speech, and ideas in a way you could literally read, live through, long after they're gone. This fascination bled into a dream: A quiet bookshop, filled with bountiful sunlight, open to all so they could read and discover the magic of reading and knowledge. Unfortunately, her dream has a few roadblocks: an established magocracy, petty nobles, and an ongoing war between humans and the Beast-kin tribes, a caste system, a burgeoning spiritual revolution, and more. Can a spider girl just read in peace? Co-written By HiddenMaster, Kitsu, and DragonGrimoire. This is a commission for Sonata.
