Da sei anni Matty vive al Villaggio, dove è cresciuto sotto la guida dell'uomo cieco chiamato il Veggente. Ma la comunità sta cambiando: tra i generosi abitanti che da sempre accolgono perseguitati e derelitti inizia a serpeggiare l'egoismo, portandoli alla drastica decisione di chiudere il confine. Il ragazzo è l'unico in grado di addentrarsi nell'insidiosa Foresta per diffondere il messaggio alle altre comunità prima che sia troppo tardi.

Non a tutti è concesso questo privilegio: malati e disabili sono considerati inutili e vengono lasciati morire. Ma l'orfana Kira, zoppa dalla nascita, viene salvata. Ricamatrice di raro talento, Kira sarà scelta dal Consiglio per riportare all'antico splendore la sacra tunica, che porta impressa la storia del mondo.

Nessuno sospetta che a soli quattordici anni, per imposizione della sua comunità, abbia partorito un bambino che le è stato poi strappato dal grembo e dal cuore. Claire ignora che suo figlio è là fuori da qualche parte, ma quando la memoria riaffiora e la travolge non ha dubbi: deve ritrovarlo, anche a costo di sacrificare se stessa.
