Scar of the Downers - Paperback

Crik is a downer and lives in the dark city of Ungstah. Like all downers, branded on his arm is a scar that tells the world he's a slave. It's all he's known. There's no escaping it, no hiding it...

But strange things are stirring...

Rumors have spread that an ancient being known as the Avarah has returned. A company of men rid through the Northern Reaches on a secret mission. A cloaked figure stalks the alleys of Ungstah.

Unaware the world is changing around him, Crik spends most of his days scavenging food for himself and his best friend, Jak, avoiding the ash kings that haunt the streets, and stealing for Kilvar, his cruel master. But when Crik steals from the wrong person, he will either die or do what no other downers has done before - escape from Ungstah.
