Poor, desperate, hungry, and without a House all describe seventeen-cycle-old Heort. His one single desire is to save the only living member of his family, his sister Oriana, who has been stricken with demon fever. Heort's fellow villagers, all of whom belong to Houses, desire to send his sister mercifully onto the next world, believing nothing can save her.
