Since Fréane’s empire colonized the Uria Peninsula, no Aboriginal person in that province was born free. Sao is one of them. When auctioned for the ninth time, he sees his life change in an unexpected way. No more hard work and unhealthy accommodation: at the Manor Archenias, Sao enjoys a freedom hitherto unexpected. New friendships, small privileges, his daily life now seems far removed from that of a simple slave of labor. Even the disturbing and unpredictable character of his master, who uses his position to humiliate him on the slightest pretext, does not seem to be able to make him regret his previous life. But when the opportunity to fight for freedom, the real one, presents itself to him, will Sao be able to give up his gains and overcome his fears to join the revolt?

"You, Sao? Would you follow me?"
— Who else? I distrust you enough to prevent you from sabotaging our revolt, if that is your intention. And I know you well enough to help, if you’re really on our side.”
The comfort of the manor is now a distant memory. The fate of Sao and his family is now played on the roads of the Empire, in the roll of the transfrean. From the shores of Dund Tengis, the great sacred lake of the Uriés, to the snowy peaks that line the Chaon Pass, the path to freedom is strewn with obstacles as well as discoveries.
But for Sao, the greatest challenge of this trip remains the man who accompanies him.
