Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 5 Volume 4

Upon returning to Ehrenfest, Rozemyne is given a harsh choice to make. The winter purge has made the Leisegangs the dominant power, and their intentions sow distrust within the archducal family. Still, she continues to forge ahead, her way of life gradually inspiring change around her.

The feast in celebration of spring is drawing near, and there’s much for Rozemyne to do. The coming weeks bring a long-overdue meeting with the lower-city merchants, more divine protections rituals, the education of the next High Bishop… and a magnificent tale told at the closed country gate. It now falls to the archducal family to overcome history and the divide between factions.

Ehrenfest’s ambitious younger generation unites in the newest volume of this biblio-fantasy. Includes two short stories and four-panel manga by You Shiina.
