Ethon knows the Law of the Founders has kept the peace for over three thousand years and that everyone in the modern world lives in harmony. The Law works. And yet, he wonders if everything he's been told is true.
But the Rebels - those who deny the Law and its Founder, Genesis - have come to Ethon's hometown. When the Rebel leaders mysteriously disappear in the night (supposedly at the hand of Genesis herself), Ethon feels compelled to admit his own doubts to the town Elders and leave his home and family behind. Only his friend, Aailaiah, a woman Devoted to the Law, supports him.
Confused and uncertain, Ethon embarks on an adventure to discover the truth about the Law. Where did it really come from? Did Genesis really exist? And if so, is she still alive?
This 85,000-word novel tells the story of Ethon, as he journeys from one end of the world to the other, never sure of what he will find on the road ahead.
