Inhaltsangabe

A new adult dystopian mystery from Lou Collins, for readers of The Hunger Games and Divergent. In a city where beauty is outlawed, someone's still collecting it. In the walled city of Scolaris, knowledge is scripture and beauty is a crime. Quill has broken that second law her whole life, hoarding forbidden beauty wherever she spots it. She's a Defecto, a servant whose name buys her nothing above her station, born without the right to an education and unable to stop craving one anyway. Then a scholar is found dead in the Great Library, and the man who raised her, the only family she has, is arrested for his murder. To save him, Quill has to brave what no Defecto's ever survived. She has to ask the questions Defectos aren't allowed to ask. She traces a trail that reaches from the missing Defectos nobody bothered to search for, through the forbidden texts hidden on the Library's highest shelves, to a killer who collects the one thing Scolaris outlawed. Beauty, one body at a time. The city calls it order. Quill's starting to suspect it's just another word for silence. Book One of The Scolaris Chronicles. A dystopian mystery about who's allowed to be curious, and who pays for it.
