About this ebook
Near-blind without his glasses, regarded as a burden to his family, Tyri left his clan to attempt a career as a runescribe in the city, taking his mute sister Vess with him so she doesn't grow up tormented as he was.
But finding a job proves more difficult than he anticipated, and his last hope to avoid being thrown out on the streets depends on the interview he has that morning.
A morning that comes crashing down on him by way of a thunderstorm and the stranger who runs into him and destroys his glasses…

It was chilly when Tyri heard the knocker-up at the window. He groaned as he shoved his glasses on his face, climbed out of bed, and shoved the sash up. He leaned out, greeted by a face full of misty rain, and called out, Thanks, Katy! Have a good day.
And you, Tyri!
She winked and went on to the next window.
Tyri shivered, closed the window, and built the fire back up. It was a sad, tiny thing, as the room was barely big enough for the small fireplace and the furniture—which was just a bed, a rickety table and one chair, and a short, wobbly bureau.
Once the fire was going, he tipped the last of the oats into a pot and added water and a pinch of their limited salt. Then he got dressed for the day, making certain his clothes and hair were especially neat. He had to make a good impression—a spectacular impression. If he didn't get this job, there'd be no rent money, and he and Vessie would be sleeping on the streets. Some big brother he was. But he couldn't be sorry he'd brought her along on his mad attempt to build a life outside of the clan that didn't really want either of them. Their job was entertaining people and selling stuff to people, and of what use were a basically blind man and a mute girl for either of those things?
Not that he was sorry to have missed all that. He hated that life, and he loved being a runescribe, helping wizards with their work, being the highly skilled and capable assistant they simply could not live without.
That was the dream, anyway. Whether or not he'd achieve it... Well, so far it had been one failure after another. He wasn't thrilled with this latest prospect, but he was in no
