Description
*A 2012 Michael L. Printz Award Honor Book*
An engrossing epic tale with a cast of characters that will hijack your
heart.
Cam Attling, having lost an arm, is the only one from his town of
Kayforl to return after twelve years of war. All his fellow soldiers were slain,
and suspicion surrounds him. When his betrothal to Graceful Fenister is called
off and his role in the community questioned, Cam leaves to find the lord who
maimed him but spared his life, seeking answers and a new place in the
world.
But this is not just Cam's story, it's about all those whose fates
entwine with his. Set in a medieval world that is entirely the author's
creation, this is an ingenious, exquisite story about what happens after the
battle. When sisters, sons, friends, parents, and lovers are left to deal with
the subtle aftermaths and unimagined repercussions of war.
