What is The Bounds about?
It’s the Allen Valley Whitsun Game, and men will die today.
This is the big game, and it’s been raging for hours. Percy and Rowan are out in the middle of nowhere, miles from the action, when a stranger joins them, a stranger with tidings that will blow their world apart.
Time passes. Night falls. The great chain of being collapses. And they’re losing the bloody football. It’s the end of the world as they know it.
