Finding himself among the different landscapes and communities of an unknown world, similar to our own but with intriguing differences in social structures and values, assuming a new name and a mistakenly conferred but useful noble status, Tarl makes a life for himself at court. Enjoying great luxury but also bringing about reforms which are supported by some while resented by others, only gradually does he come to realise the vast contrasts between the life of the courtiers and that of the downtrodden populace, leading to dramatic changes in his life and to the future of the Different World.In following Tarl's adventures we reflect on thought-stirring questions about friendship, loyalty, responsibility and status and how to rebuild a fractured, dysfunctional society, striking a chord with worldwide struggles for self-determination and inviting you to consider: what would you do in Tarl's situation?
