Ariston was once a Guardian of the Kalliopolis, a perfect city
designed according to the instructions of the
Philosophers--Philosophers who, in their wisdom, found the human
Guardians of Ariston's generation imperfect and replaced them with
warrior machines with engines for minds. Phaleas Peneste, a poor
farmer's orphan the new Guardians rescued from the devastating
winter that killed his family, now serves as a mechanic and servant
to them. Unhappy with their positions in the Kalliopolis's new
order, each man decides to escape, a coincidence that leads to
their first meeting. Afraid to risk his life in the wilderness
beyond the Kalliopolis, Phaleas hesitates and is recaptured by the
Guardians while Ariston discovers he doesn't have anywhere to run.
Back inside, drawn by their shared resistance, the two begin a
secret affair. Phaleas hopes that together, they might give each
other the strength to escape the Kalliopolis forever... but first
he has to convince Ariston to try again.
