In a world where technology melds with ancient ways and overlords have absolute power over all land dry and marsh, a group of orphaned boys ban together to survive the mean streets of Filon Bora's village. Being without a protector in the fortress's village is a hard life. Lawlessness abounds and the streets are a dangerous place for anyone to be let alone a child. For them being turned out to wander the village alone is more often than not a death sentence. Well if the child is a young boy at any rate. Girls most often get taken in, for the pleasure houses are always in need of fresh blood. Orphaned boys on the other hand are in less demand in those sorts of places, and so the majority of them end up roaming the streets. Karnin and his little gang are such discarded boys, and for them the future is bleak. All they have to look forward to is a life of squalor and an early death, but one day their fortunes change. Karnin catches the eye of a highly placed man looking for a boy with the wherewithal to do a few things for him on the sly. Their benefactor has more in mind though; he is looking to right a great wrong. The plot that he hatches sends Karnin and his followers on an adventure that forever alters their lives, and changes the futures of all those dwelling within the shadow of Filon Bora.
