Tazmand has escaped Karesh city with his companions Dharma, Salt and the emperor’s daughter, Princess Skylark. They find themselves in the Scavenging Grounds, a vast landscape of rubbish outside the city walls but, now they are free, what do they do next? Closely pursued by a group of soldiers sent by the Emperor and led by Sash, a slave overseer with a personal grudge against Tazmand, they must find safety and, ultimately, decide where they are going. They are befriended and aided by Maggot, a young scavenger who makes his living trawling through the rubbish to find things to sell and later by Greef, a trainee Coenobite warrior with (erratic) magical powers and his companion falcon, Sphinx.

Their journey is fraught with danger, friendship, betrayal and deceit.
