This book is about a brave teenager named Conor who lives on the Saltee Islands in Ireland. The only dream he has ever had is to fly and that dream is about to come true when, he accidently witnesses the murder of the king and his mentor. The murder gets blamed on him and he is sent to the Salttee Prison, trapped until he dies... or is he? This book is an amazing tale of how Conor uses his courage and engineering techniques to conquer the problem of finding good over evil...or in other words, freedom over being trapped in prison.
