In a dangerous world, Deep Salt strikes terror into the heart of
everyone. Hari lives in Blood Burrow, deep in the ruined city of Belong,
where he survives by courage and savagery. He is scarred from fighting,
he is dangerous and cruel, but he has a secret gift: he can speak with
animals. When his father, Tarl, is taken as a slave and sent to the mine
known as Deep Salt, from where no worker ever returns, Hari vows to
save him. Pearl is from the ruling families, known as Company, which has
conquered and enslaved Hari's people. Her destiny involves marriage
that will unite her family with that of the powerful and ambitious
Ottmar. But Pearl has learned forbidden things from Tealeaf, her maid,
and will never submit to a subordinate life. A long journey through the
badlands towards Deep Salt finds Pearl and Hari united for a common
cause. It soon becomes clear that the survival of their people depends
entirely upon the success of Pearl and Hari's mission.
