RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Belle Isle Books of Richmond, Virginia, is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a new work of fantasy for middle-grade readers, Noble, written by Stephanie Parwulski.

Enter a kingdom where threads tell tales, men tell lies, and old wrongs fester amid apathy. Against this backdrop of tyranny and tradition, a young boy seeks to learn to weave the threads of stories—while others seek a princess who has escaped the palace walls. In this loving homage to classic folk tales, readers will learn that fear and misunderstanding can be our harshest masters, but a loving family always finds its own—and things aren’t always what they seem.

It takes more than a title to be noble.

A tale of conventions both honored and broken, reminiscent of Lois Lowry’s The Giver, Noble is scheduled for release on September 9, 2022.

Every town in the kingdom of Ansel has a storyteller, a man who weaves threads of magic into stories to share with the men of the community—and only the men, for in Ansel, women are forbidden from learning to read.

Elbon doesn’t know why Storyteller chose him as an apprentice. After all, he has no family, no friends, and not much talent for hearing the words woven into the colorful threads strung on Storyteller’s magic harp. Still, Elbon does his best to make his teacher proud . . . even if he doesn’t feel confident that he can.

But when Elbon meets a frightened boy named Freddie who claims to be running away from home—and when agents from the royal palace arrive not long after in search of a missing princess—Elbon and his new friend must work together to uncover the secrets that have shaped both their lives . . . and maybe right a few ancient wrongs along the way.
