Among the rotting ruins and open sores of a diseased Earth, Jude - sole survivor of a solitary group of hungry travellers and scavengers - is destined for a vital task ... but those who knew what that task is are all dead. Bewildered and questing, Jude makes an epic Odyssey across a dying and decaying landscape of corrupt countryside and crumbling cities, thinly peopled by savage killers and unworldly dreamers, in a desperate bid to discover what he is meant to do. Along the winding way, he gathers new companions: a wretched waif, rescued from slavery and cannibalism, a mysterious woman of beauty and secrets, and an equally mysterious, though anything but beautiful, old man of unfathomable prophesies and ferocious violence. At times, Jude feels his tired old wagon horse is his only true ally as the once-clear dividing line between friend and foe becomes blurred. In this futuristic re-telling of ancient Grail legends, Jude becomes knight errant in a joust to the death between fear and duty. Will he become the saviour of humanity or its doomed scapegoat at the end of days ... when his quest finally brings him to The Tor? With characters that become as familiar as personal friends and enemies, a story that is both vaguely remembered and vividly fresh, and pages that seem to turn in the wind, Liza Granville inspires her reader to ask, for new reasons, the age-old question ... is our very presence on the only planet we know intimately the problem or the solution? Are we Mother Nature's children or her killer?
