#booktalk

Crossing the Wall was their goal in the first Pathfinder book, but it was only the beginning of Rigg's adventures on Garden.  Each new wallfold that Rigg and his friends visit has its own challenges and surprises.  As the travelers seek to understand the future and how to avoid impending disaster, they also must decide if they trust each other.  The narrative weaves in and out with various time jumping transitions, which the reader must follow if they too want to survive the tale.
