When something fell from the something tree, all the words went away. And the world changed.

Monsters slipped from dreams, and ghosts wandered the land in trances. Only with the rise of the named and their committees Maps, Ghosts, Dreams, and Names could people stand against the terrors of the nameless wilds. Now, they build borders, shackle ghosts and hunt monsters. The nameless are to be fought, and feared.

For one unnamed courier of the Names Committee, the task of delivering new words preserves her place in a world that fears her. But when she is blamed for a series of monstrous attacks, she is forced to flee and seek out her long-lost sister. Accompanied by a patchwork ghost, a fretful monster, and a nameless animal who prowls the borders between realities, her search for the truth of her past opens the door to a revolutionary future for the words she carries will reshape the world.

At once a love letter to the power of language and an exploration of its limits, The Naming Song is the perfect fantasy for anyone who's ever dreamed of a stranger, freer, more magical world.
