If ignorance were bliss, would you seek truth?
In a sheltered city that has locked itself away from the dangers of the outside world, a band of underground rebels, driven by this very question, plan to uncover the truth beyond their impenetrable wall.
Meanwhile, as he struggles to bring his own life together by solving the mysterious murder of his parents, thirteen-year-old Linus Smith will come to learn – the hard way – that he is a gifted war elephant rider, and find himself in the most unlikely place – at the crux of a liberation.
From Ander Louis: "I wanted this novel to be fun, right from page one. It's my first novel - certainly not my last - and I wanted to aim big with it. So, I set my peers as J.K Rowling, Patrick Süskind, Suzanne Collins, etc. - writers I truly admired - and I did everything in my power to create a story that would measure up to those authors, and most importantly - that would entertain people. That was paramount among my goals - to make sure people were enjoying the reading experience. It's not about preaching an idea, or a personal philosophy, or trying to explain myself, or leave a legacy - no, all I wanted to do here was entertain people. I sincerely hope I've achieved that and can continue to do so with my upcoming offerings."
