A boy with no name lives on the Damall's island, where the Damall rules cruely over all the boys. He has learned to be the best of the boys, but still does not want to stay. So he excapes, taking his only friend, and they set off for the mainland and a new life. But it will not be so easy to find, because creulty exsists not only on the Damall's island, and the world beyond holds endless dangers.
A captivating novel, with a main character who is not always perfect, or even nearly perfect, and who wonderfully displays human nature. The plot flows without breaking from one episod to the next, and though it is often very dark, there is joy and hope as well.
