| Life
in the Village is about to change. Matty has been living with the
blind man known as Seer for several years now. Matty had come to
the Village as a wild young boy but has since grown into a fine young man.
That's the way of the Village. People who are outcasts in their own
homes are welcome with open arms in the Village. The school teacher
whose face is covered with a birth mark. The blind man. A wild
boy. The lame, the weak. All are welcome. But things
have been changing lately. People have been changing. Now they
want to close the Village. They want no more strangers coming in.
Matty and Seer do not understand what is going on but they know it is serious.
And they are determined to bring Seer's daughter, Kira into the Village
before it is closed forever. |
