The Letter Mage

Aleph Worf-Sapir, nearly fifteen and uninterested in school, has been offered the chance of a lifetime: an opportunity to study on the different moons of the Lunar University! After decades of infighting, the other Departments have opened their doors. Aleph’s job is to attend each school for a month, learning as much as he can and reporting back to the Glottal Moon. Sounds easy, right?

But so far, Aleph's journey has been fraught with complications. He's been imprisoned, romanced, kidnapped, attacked by giant snakes, lectured, and assigned as a juror on his mother's murder trial. Worst of all, he's pretty sure he killed Olive Gilbreth, leader of the College of the Gear. But it couldn't have been his fault. Aleph's a good person.

Right?

Huey Gilbreth, a kid with a mouth as big as her brain, is convinced that she's meant to take the seat of power her late mother left behind. Aleph's jury duty is approaching fast. Mysteries from the Prismatic Moon are catching up to him. Unanswered questions are piling up.

Something's got to give, and soon.
