Tik has lived her 12 years in awe of her grandfather Gortan, who demands loyalty to kin, land, and the 'family beyond the wall'—the rebels who were branded and exiled into the wilderness 135 years before. The arrival of a branded man at the Westgate, the first to return to the kingdom since the rebellion, leads her to discover terrible secrets about her family and question her loyalties. Meanwhile Lebasi is forced to guide the branded man into Xessus to give a warning to the magistrate—Lebasi's father Xela—or the captain of the Westwall Guard.
