The Wordsmith by Patricia Forde

Letta is the Ark's Wordsmith, tasked with collecting and providing words to those who need them. She never questioned why language is rationed, an why words like 'love', 'hope' and 'freedom' are forbidden

When her master disappears, and a boy is shot on her doorstep, Letta realises that the Ark is not all that it seems. It's ruler, John Noa, has a much bigger goal than survival: he wants to destroy language for good.

Letta must find a way to stop silencing the human race forever. But she's only a young girl, and he is the leader of what's left of the known world...
