Ludania is ruled only by queens, and the current one, Queen Sabara, is solidly evil. Angelina, on the other hand, is mute, but she too has secret abilities that no one else has. Moreover, her ability is not restricted to words she can decipher any type of communication, including those that are visual or tactile. Charlaina (called “Charlie” by her friends), can understand any language. But the two girls share secret skills which they must never reveal at the cost of their lives. It also became a way to exert power and control over members of the lower classes.Ĭharlaina Hart, 17, and her little sister Angelina, 4, are of the vendor class, and are supposed to speak only Parshon (the vendors’ language) and Englaise. This class system was first imposed in order to discourage future uprisings, so that ideas of rebellion could not be communicated. (“Englaise” is the universal language used when classes are forced to interact.)
In the dystopic future country of Ludania, social classes are defined by the language they speak you are not only not allowed to learn the languages of classes above you, but you must maintain a downcast gaze when languages from above your class are spoken.
