Now serving as orphanage director, Myne begins her mission to save the temple's orphans—an endeavor that earns her a great deal of respect from those whose lives she continues to improve. She arranges for the orphans to have somewhere to sleep, teaches them how to provide for themselves, and even helps them to experience the festivities of the Star Festival for the very first time. Just before the taue-throwing starts, however, Myne makes a discovery—one that she believes could play a crucial role in saving other children with the Devouring. She goes to see Benno at once, hoping to spare others from her fate, but the matter is far more complicated than she realizes... This is a biblio-fantasy by book lovers, for book lovers!
