Erasmas, 'Raz', is a young avout living in the Concent, a sanctuary
for mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers. Three times
during history's darkest epochs, violence has invaded and
devastated the cloistered community. Yet the avout have always
managed to adapt in the wake of catastrophe. But they now prepare
to open the Concent's gates to the outside world, in celebration of
a once-a-decade rite. Suddenly, Erasmas finds himself a major
player in a drama that will determine the future of his world - as
he sets out on an extraordinary odyssey that will carry him to the
most dangerous, inhospitable corners of the planet...and beyond.
