Twelve-year-old Mosca Mye finds herself trapped in a grim existence, under the thumb of her cruel uncle, confined to the dark and dusty corners of his mill. With dreams of escape fluttering in her heart, she longs for adventure beyond her stifling surroundings. Armed with nothing but her fierce intelligence and an appetite for words, she breaks free, embarking on a journey that will take her into the heart of a peculiar and dangerous world.
As Mosca navigates through treacherous landscapes and eccentric characters, she discovers the power and peril of language, as well as the weight of her own choices. Along the way, new friendships blossom, secrets unfold, and the mysteries of her past come to light. This tale weaves together themes of courage, ambition, and the magical potential of storytelling, as Mosca learns that sometimes, the greatest flight is the one of the spirit.
