The Glyph Thief by Sable Fox is now available

We are pleased to announce that The Glyph Thief, the first book in Sable Fox’s The Riddle Archivists, is now available.

In a world where knowledge exists as physical artifacts called Glyphs, sixteen-year-old Naia Mendoza is a secret. She can read Glyphs by touch, a gift that should have earned her a place at the Athenaeum, the elite academy carved into a mountain where the world’s most dangerous knowledge is kept. Instead, she has spent her life hiding in the slums of Ashfall, because undocumented Archivists don’t get scholarships. They get prison cells.

When a stolen Glyph containing a world-breaking secret is planted on Naia, she is offered a choice: enter the Athenaeum on a fabricated scholarship and find who planted it, or face imprisonment for possessing knowledge she was never authorized to hold. Inside, she discovers an academy where corridors rearrange based on stored knowledge, every student is trained to extract secrets, and she is the biggest secret in the building.

YA fantasy for readers who love dark academia, enemies-to-lovers slow burns, and the kind of world-building you can get lost in.
