The Acktus Trials

What if reading were a capital offense?

"This series is right up there with Robin Hobb's Elderling books." -Review on Fantasy Faction FB Group

In the land of Oration, magic exists only when read aloud from rare books, and only a select few are born able to cast it. To maintain their power, the wealthy elite enslave all such people from birth and never teach them to read. But when a slave named Baztian secretly becomes literate, he'll start an uprising, whether he wants to or not...

The first in an epic fantasy series with five books and growing! Fans of Sanderson, Weeks, Eddings, and Hobb take note!

"Sanderson-esque." -Weatherwax Report
