Everyone is afraid of magic. Layten Grayread can hear it.
The warding circle around his family's workshop is supposed to keep the darkness out. To Layten, it screams — a sound of someone in agony that no one else can hear. He's spent his whole life pretending he doesn't.
Now he's finally leaving to become a Scholar at the House of Knowledge, the only thing he's ever wanted. But the man sent to escort him is the leader of the order that hunts magic across the land — and he came for Layten personally.
Inside the House, Layten finds a journal no one else can open, written by the founder of the faith he was raised to obey. Its pages call the god a lie. A joke. And they name the men who still kill in that god's name.
Layten came to study the world.
He's about to learn it was built on a secret — and he's the only one who can hear it.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Layten Grayread has spent his entire life dreaming of becoming a Scholar at the House of Knowledge in Timik. When his father's connections finally secure his acceptance, Layten leaves his remote marsh homeland behind-only to discover that his journey north has been orchestrated by forces he doesn't understand.A mysterious Anchor named Fean-a magic-absorbing servant of the god Sartum-arrives to escort him safely to the House. Along the way, Layten witnesses unsettling magical events and realizes his own memories have been erased. Someone has been protecting him. But from what At the House of Knowledge, Layten throws himself into his studies alongside two unlikely friends: Hopwell, a charming noble on a traditional tour of the Five Houses, and Wix, a fast-talking former thief with a knack for finding trouble. Together, they endure the grueling first year of apprenticeship-rote copying, research training, and secret sword practice.But when Wix discovers a hidden fifth gate leading to a forbidden vault, everything changes.Inside, they find banned books and the private journal of the High Prophet Jinir-the revered founder of their faith. As Layten reads, he uncovers a devastating truth: Jinir never believed in Sartum. The foundation of the Church, the faith that governs the entire North, may be built on a lie.Their discovery doesn't go unnoticed. A mysterious ink-maker named Retuin has been tracking Layten using dark magic, and when he invades the vault with a team of extinct creatures-including a faceless Leuh assassin-the friends barely escape with their lives.But the real danger is just beginning.A fanatical new Church official, calling himself the Voice of Sartum, arrives in Timik and disbands the House of Knowledge entirely. He declares a holy crusade against the magic-wielding south and conscripts every able-bodied person into his army. The age of scholarship ends overnight.Meanwhile, Navigator Fean-the aging, quietly desperate leader of all Anchors-struggles to hold back encroaching madness while keeping Layten out of harm's reach. He knows something about the young Scholar's past. Something he's not ready to reveal.As war looms and the Church tightens its grip, Layten must decide: protect the dangerous truth he's discovered, or let it be buried forever.Scholar is the first book in an epic fantasy series about forbidden knowledge, fractured faith, and the cost of seeking truth in a world built on lies.
