His doubts about the truth of what he is taught increase and when duty calls him to sterile service in the Domain, ruled by a sterile but near-immortal nobility, he flees to the Outland, the land where rebels have maintained a fragile truce with the Domain for more than 200 years. His flight is a catalyst, provoking violent reactions on both sides. In the chaos that follows, his recall of vital information acquired in his escape determines the future that is unfolding.
