The first thing that assails your mind is your passion: finding something to read. However, he soon discovers, with frustration, that there are almost no books at his disposal.
In a world without printing, books must be written and copied by hand, making them a luxury reserved for a few nobles. But none of that will manage to stop Myne. She is determined to show that her love of reading is unshakable and that, if there are no books… she will create them herself!
