One of the strangest is on Borthan, where the founding settlers established the Covenant, which teaches that the self is to be despised, and forbids anyone to reveal his innermost thoughts or feelings to another. On Borthan, the filthiest obscenities imaginable are the words \"I\" and \"me.\" For the heinous crime of \"self-baring,\" apostates have always paid with exile or death, but after his eyes are opened by a visitor from Earth, Kinnall Darival, prince of Salla, risks everything to teach his people the real meaning of being human.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e_____________________________________________\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback, Light wear to cover edges, slight discolouration to front and back cover.
