Memory is the last rebellion.
Thirty-four marks of ink climb his arm — one for every day he can remember. Before that: a wall in his mind, a worn blue notebook he cannot read, and two words. Find me.

Reading died generations ago. Towns forget their own dead. And the wind that can empty a mind in a single breath is getting closer.
In all the kingdom, one person can still read: the emperor's caged reader, locked behind fifty feet of granite. Whoever holds the reader holds the land. But the hidden peoples of the deep woods recite an older prophecy — of an outsider who comes with death and life riding on his lips — and the red-eyed things hunting Berrin do not believe he is nobody.
He only wanted to find the girl who gave him the notebook. He is about to learn what it cost her to make him forget.
Some things, once forgotten, refuse to stay that way.
Forgetting Winds is the first book of When the Last Star Falls — an epic fantasy of memory, sacrifice, and the long way home, in the tradition of Lewis and Tolkien.
