Two young people are forced to make a stand in this thought-provoking look at racism and prejudice in an alternate society. Sephy is a Cross — a member of the dark-skinned ruling class. Callum is a Nought — a “colourless” member of the underclass who were once slaves to the Crosses. The two have been friends since early childhood, but that’s as far as it can go.
This story is about an evil little boy who hates everyone around him. He embarks upon a revenge campaign, developing ever more imaginative nasty ends for each of his enemies. When, however, he crosses swords with a pack of cannibal rats, he meets a truly sickening end.
