The List
Patricia Forde
In the city of Ark, people may use only five hundred approved words; using language beyond that list brings banishment. Letta is the apprentice to the Wordsmith, responsible for collecting, preserving, and archiving words in their post-apocalyptic world. She uncovers a plan to further suppress language and strip Ark’s people of speech. Letta realizes that protecting words also means protecting the culture they carry.
