Sets of serene plains circled by the sea. Green fields, forests, and herds of animals. In the distance, a miles-high wall of rusted metal, stretching in both directions as far as the eye can see. Eternal. Unbreakable. Witness to countless generations of life, of death, of connecting souls through centuries of humankind.
The Wall is an epic-timeframe novella about the people living below the incomprehensible wonder, a collection of human stories, of people forever in awe faced with scales outside of their own perception, and the remarkable endurance and curiosity of humankind, enough to transcend mortality.

Three hundred years after the fall, the known world is beginning to regain a semblance of order, with the sword the ultimate power once more. But not everything of old was lost, and there are some that will exert deadly effort to obtain what was left behind. Orphaned, plague-marked and mistrusted by the community he lives in, a boy must come to terms with the fact that he is different from everyone else, but is soon the focus of unwelcome and deadly attention. Separated from her father, a young girl has to learn to survive in a foreign land haunted by tribes of ghosts and roving bands of piratical thralls to a sadistic King. A watcher keeps lonely vigil from within a fortress that has been under siege for hundreds of years, while a soldier dies for the twenty-third time, and dies again while wondering if he is going mad.
