When something fell from the something tree, all the words went away. And the world changed.

Monsters slipped from dreams. The land began to shift, and ghosts wandered the world in trances. Only with the rise of the named and their committees could humanity stand against the terrors of the nameless wilds. Now, they build borders, shackle ghosts, and hunt monsters. The nameless are to be fought, and feared.

One unnamed courier of the names committee travels aboard the Number Twelve train, assigning words to the people and things that need them. Her position on the train grants her safety in a world that otherwise fears her. But when she accidentally pulls a monster from a dream—and with attacks by the nameless rocking the Number Twelve—she is forced to flee. Accompanied by a patchwork ghost, a fretful monster, and a creature who prowls the borders between realities, she sets out to look for her long-lost sister.

Her search for the truth of her own life opens the door to a revolutionary future―for the words she carries will reshape the world.
