After returning from the sealed routing station, Vaelorin Ashward meets the Archive’s resistance in its native language. In a forgotten service corridor behind the upper copy rooms, Vaelorin is intercepted by a hooded figure in black robes and handed a plain, heavy tome. With a warning and strict intructions. Vaelorin understands the cost at once and crosses a line he never intended to cross. The quietest rebellions begin with what you refuse to place on a shelf.
