The Sweet Escape

The Nameless of Ginah Valley is a YA Fantasy coming-of-age story, the first book in the Keepers of Talaneamh series, filled with nature & artisan magic, prophecies, hidden identities, a sentient forest, and an endearing band of misfits. If you love fairytale retellings, underdog heroes, and whimsical settings, this enchanting story will sweep you into another world. In three days, she will turn fifteen. In three days, she will be nameless. On the edge of the wasteland, gifted landworkers sing the twelve Songs of Talaneamh, harnessing the magic of Earth and Sky to tame the rebellious land. But for giftless, stuttering Nourahna Cesaret, the Songs remind her that she doesn’t belong. When Nourahna's father is promoted, the Cesarets are faced with the predicament of presenting their nameless daughter to guild society. But before their move, a mysterious woman saves their district, and Nourahna mistakenly receives the credit, gaining a gift naming in the process. All at once, her prospects change: apprenticeships, guild parties, encounters with royalty, and new friends—to keep her family safe, Nourahna blends in, hoping she will become the gifted daughter her parents deserve. But when her apprenticeship proves too difficult for giftless hands and threats spread throughout the kingdom, Nourahna must claim her identity between two worlds. Speaking will ruin her family, but staying silent could destroy the kingdom. And the Songs—can one sing with cursed lips?
