Description
In a caste-bound city where birth dictates destiny, a foundling’s discovery of his noble lineage ignites a revolution that challenges the very foundations of society.
In the slums of Westburg, Ash is a Bottom, a beggar and scavenger of garbage heaps, a survivor in a city that deems some lives worthless. Abandoned at birth, he has no future and even fewer dreams. But a single act of bravery — saving a young administrator from an assassin — changes everything.
Ash discovers he’s not just another forgotten foundling. He’s Jason Redgrave, the illegitimate son of Alice Redgrave, a powerful administrator, and Harker Haroldson, the Duke’s only surviving son. Now a target of his murderous father, Jason must flee the only city he’s ever known with the help of a family he never knew he had.
