Thirty-Seven Pages Before the Censor's Stamp

About this book

In the fractured republic of Veshar, emotional expression is heavily regulated and personal correspondence passes through strict Government Censorship Bureaus. Maren Kael, a low-ranking ink-sorter in the decaying eastern district, lives a quiet life as an Untiered citizen, focused on keeping her fragile younger sister, Lida, safe. Everything changes when the state assigns her a provisional marriage contract with Jonah Beres, an exiled agricultural laborer working in the distant Outer Rim. Forced to communicate only through heavily monitored letters, Maren and Jonah slowly discover a genuine and forbidden connection. As the Bureau begins altering their words to match state-approved compliance templates, Maren and Jonah must find a way to communicate their true feelings using hidden botanical codes and beautiful calligraphy. When Lida is threatened with relocation to a sinister wellness facility, Maren and Jonah are forced to risk everything, choosing between the safety of their censored letters and the dangerous power of the uncensored truth.
