A riveting tale of subterfuge and deadly self-indulgence (Publishers Weekly, starred review) from award-winning author Claire North, Notes from the Burning Age puts dystopian fiction in a whole new light.
Torn between friendship and faith, Ven must decide how far he\'s willing to go to save this new world--and how much he is willing to lose.
But when the revolutionary Brotherhood approaches Ven, pressuring him to translate stolen writings that threaten everything he once held dear, his life will be turned upside down.
For in Ven\'s world, such material must be closely guarded so that the ills that led to that cataclysmic era can never be repeated.
It was his duty to interpret archaic texts, sorting useful knowledge from the heretical ideas of the Burning Age--a time of excess and climate disaster.
Ven was once a holy man, a keeper of ancient archives. --Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time from one of the most imaginative writers of her generation comes an extraordinary vision of the future...

But it was also a gift, and centuries of peace followed.
Once, Ven was a holy man, studying texts from the ashes of the past, sorting secrets from heresies.
It was a punishment.
