In the world of Ember Earth, where writing will burn to ash, Ember Seeker Shen Chi makes a living by collecting rare ashes. In an accident, he found a blank book that could not be burned in the ruins of the Old God Library. After touching it, he lost his memory for three days out of thin air, but a line of words appeared on the page. The ensuing pursuit of the Silent Speaker, the sister whose existence was erased, and the pages of the book that can reveal forgotten things gradually reveal an ancient truth about words, memory and ashes. When all the forgotten stories came together, Shen Chi found that he had to make a choice between preserving his memory and ending the disaster.
