With the combined forces of Rigg, Umbo, Param, Loaf, and Olivenko (Rigg's guard that was supposed to keep him under constant watch, who later turned into a deserter), they were all able to get past the wall. The wall is unbreakable, and every time one goes near it, he/she starts going insane. Rigg, Param, and Umbo all flee to the wall in an attempt to go through it. When Rigg's mother decides to restore royalty, she decides that she will kill her children to make way for her children with the General Citizen. His sister, Param Sissaminka, has the ability to scatter her molecules, speeding up the world around her in the process. Rigg, upon arriving in Aressa Sessamo, he is met by his mother, the queen. Umbo and Loaf escape by jumping off the boat, but Rigg must endure an assassination attempt in order to make it to the capital city of Aressa Sessamo. During their stay in O, General Citizen, from the army of the People's Republic, arrests the trio, for it is found that Rigg is the supposedly a dead prince. In a place called Leaky's Landing, they meet a new man, Loaf, who offers to take the duo to the city of O, where they can sell the jewels for more money. Umbo travels with his friend Rigg as he had nowhere to go. As Umbo's father was ashamed of him for perceiving it wrongly, he kicked Umbo out of their house. The innkeeper, Nox, hides Rigg, and gives him money, an address, and nineteen jewels inherited from his father. Shocked at this discovery, Rigg returns to his town only to find a mob ready to kill him for what they perceived as the murder of Kyokay. His brother Umbo sees this, starts throwing stones at him, thinking he could make him fall, and tells the villagers that Rigg murdered his brother.
Someone else's path overlaps with Kyokay and because of that he is unable to save the boy. During this rescue attempt, the paths around him solidify and people begin to appear in these paths. After his father dies, Rigg tries to save a boy named Kyokay on the Stashi Falls (the waterfalls close to Rigg's home). His father dies impaled by a tree, and the man's parting words were to find not Rigg's mother, but his sister, a person of whom Rigg had had no knowledge. His father is his mentor, and so he has taught Rigg everything he knows. He spends his time hunting with his father in the mountains, trapping for valuable pelts.
The book begins with Rigg, a boy that has the strange ability to see the path of any living being, no matter how long ago it existed.
