The Naming Song By Jedediah Berry

The Naming Song is a gorgeously imaginative fantasy that immerses readers in a world where the power of language holds the key to reality. When words vanished, chaos ensued; meaning was lost, borders dissolved, and nightmares seeped into the waking world. Monsters roamed free, while ghosts lingered in a state of hopeless wandering. In response, the committees of the named—Maps, Ghosts, Dreams, and Names—emerged to restore order, capturing the nameless threats and waging war against the unknown.

At the heart of this tumultuous world is an unnamed courier working for the Names Committee. Tasked with delivering new words, she fights to maintain her place in a society that fears her existence. However, after a series of vicious attacks on the named, she must flee her committee to search for her long-lost sister.

Accompanied by a patchwork ghost, a fretful monster, and a shadowy nameless creature, her quest leads her to uncover the secrets of her past and the revolutionary potential of the words she carries. As they traverse a land fraught with danger and wonder, she realizes that the truths she uncovers could reshape their world.

The Naming Song is a tale of adventure, discovery, and the intricate relationship between language and identity. It beckons readers into a magical realm where the battle for meaning defines existence, offering a profound exploration of the magic that lies within words and the freedom they can inspire. 📚❤️
