Publisher's Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old San, a Keiltic thief in a Kyarian village, thinks he struck gold when he steals the purse off a stranger in black. He finds out too late, though, that the stranger is a Truthteller, a powerful herald of the God of Law. Now San must face the consequences of his actions, but he has to choose how. He can submit to the familiar but harsh punishments of his home, or venture into the unknown, wider world in service to the Truthteller Kittik Keed, a man with a mysterious past that could threaten San's safety. Will San have the courage to discover what the world could have in store for him?
