description: Ravaged by the Change an island nation in a time very like our own has built the Wallan enormous concrete barrier around its entire coastline. Joseph Kavanagh a new Defender has one task: to protect his section of the Wall from the Others the desperate souls who are trapped amid the rising seas outside and are a constant threat. Failure will result in death or a fate perhaps worse: being put to sea and made an Other himself. Beset by cold loneliness and fear Kavanagh tries to fulfill his duties to his demanding Captain and Sergeant even as he grows closer to his fellow Defenders. A dark part of him wonders whether it would be interesting if something did happen if they came if he had to fight for his life.
