An ambitious young man, an orphan left under an ash tree, dreams of a career in the Europolis, the world city that houses seventy billion people. Because work-life disappoints him, he begins to question himself and his society. When he meets the love of his life, his radical thoughts lead to his conviction for wrongthink. Wulf and his Inga escape into exile. They find refuge among other urban outcasts. As they try to rebuild their lives in the wilderness, they discover the world's governing body, the Council, has committed an unfathomable crime against humanity. Wulf vows to return to the city to preach the truth. He will lead the revolt against the city. To succeed, he must find the father who abandoned him and confront his past.
