In this newest novella from the queer, mystical Birdverse, an apprentice assassin and an inquisitive linguist share their tales in order to make a fateful decision. Lush and lyrical, this cross-cultural tale of the beauty of language is a gift to anyone who appreciates the transformative power of storytelling. In the School of Assassins, Stone Orphan waits for a first assignment. After their first kill, they will graduate, and attain the coveted cloth of bone. But instead of a commission, Stone Orphan gets an inquisitive linguist, UlÃÂn. UlÃÂn has heard the Orphan Star's song of despair, mirroring her own, and drawing her to the School of Assassins. But UlÃÂn is far more interested in learning Stone Orphan's language than deciding whom she wishes to kill. Unable to contain their curiosity, Stone Orphan offers to exchange stories with UlÃÂn to help her decide the fate of three men. In R. B. Lemberg's newest, lyrical Birdverse novella (The Four Profound Weaves; Geometries of Belonging), an assassin and a linguist negotiate their very different languages, past betrayals, and an unexpected bond. By turns, Stone Orphan and UlÃÂn narrate tales of love, suffering, exile, and self-determination, and two hurt souls find hope in each other through a radical act: listening.
