About this ebook

What place for love in a city ruled by greed? 

Sarah, spirited and caring, is on her first trip outside her village. But the city is dominated by the grim law of the market – the only relations permitted are between buyer and seller. Her gift of a wagonload of food to those who need it is a crime. David, a serious-minded police cadet who naively trusts in the law, arrests her and finds himself falling in love. 

Franklin, the richest man in Market World, puts a price on everything. His giant factories spew forth road beasts – the huge machines that devastate the lands beyond the City in pursuit of yet more wealth. 

How can David prove his love to Sarah? And how can they save her village and build a kinder city? 

A gripping and thought-provoking eco-sci-fi novel, set in a world a little bit like ours.
