The Sanctuary of the Redeemers on Shotover Scarp is a bleak, broken place where boys are taken and forced into a brutal regime that serves a single faith. Thomas Cale, a seventeen‑year‑old boy whose real name has been forgotten, is both clever and deadly. His existence in the labyrinthine halls is ordinary until he opens a door that reveals a horror beyond his expectation. Now he must flee across the harsh Scablands to the city of Memphis—a world of beauty and corruption—while the Redeemers pursue him for the truth he has learned and the even greater secret he still conceals.
