In the sprawling, stratified city of Stiva, a nameless boy on the brink of starvation sees his only escape from the slums in the annual Selection—a brutal lottery that turns children into soldiers. He yearns for a life beyond the mud-caked streets and gnawing hunger, a life promised by ten years of service to the Highguard Kingdom. But when the captain's disgusted gaze falls upon him, his dreams of glory shatter, replaced by a chilling word: "Wall." Now, facing a fate far worse than he imagined, this young survivor must confront the harsh realities of a kingdom that consumes its children. What dark secrets lie beyond the Wall, and what will it cost him to survive its unforgiving embrace?
