In the small village of Amun lives a poor boy named Theo. Theo adores books, but because of his pointed ears and impoverished life, he isn't allowed to use the village library.

But one day, Theo chances to meet a Kafna--a librarian who works for the great library of Aftzaak--and his life changes forever...
