Young Forktongue Davy has visions; epilepsy, his Ma calls it. He's
barely able to help around the family farm. But something about the lad
is attracting attention: the menacing stranger who might be the angel of
death himself; the women-only community at Wycombe; Daniel, sent by the
mysterious Guz. They all want Davy for their own reasons. But what use
can he be to anyone? He has visions of flight, but how can flight ever
be possible in this shattered world? A simple farmboy, caught up in
events beyond his power to control-but his visions may be the key to the
future.
