The Naming Song

From the Mother Tongue Spells & Invocation collection. 

There's nothing more dangerous than an unnamed thing. When the words went away, the world changed. All meaning was lost, and every border fell. Only with the rise of the committees of the named―Maps, Ghosts, Dreams, and Names―could the people stand against the terrors of the nameless wilds. For one unnamed courier of the Names Committee, the task of delivering new words preserves her place in a world that fears her. Accompanied by a patchwork ghost, a fretful monster, and a nameless animal who prowls the shadows, her search for the truth of her past opens the door to a revolutionary future―for the words she carries will reshape the world.

The Naming Song is a book of deep secrets and marvelous discoveries, strange adventures and dangerous truths. It's the story of a world locked in a battle over meaning. Most of all, it's the perfect fantasy for anyone who's ever dreamed of a stranger, freer, more magical world.
