Blood Ink & Fire

In the future, books are a distant memory. The written word has been replaced by an ever-present stream of images known as Verity. Noelle's been keeping her dangerous fixation with words a secret, but on the night before her seventeenth birthday, a rare interruption in the stream leads her to a mysterious volume linked to an underworld of rebel book lovers known as the Nine of the Rising. With the help of the Risers and the beguiling boy Ledger, Noelle discovers that the words within her are precious clues to the books of the earlier time-and as a child of their bookless age, she might be the world's last hope of bringing them back.
