Eleven years after its original publication, this is the third edition of D'Lacey's cult hit, containing an introduction by Michael Wilson and a brand-new foreword by the author. In Abyrne, a strange town surrounded by a wasteland, the eating of meat is a sacred obligation. The town's strict laws are brutally enforced by a ruthless Baron and a merciless Bishop.

By fighting for what he knows is right, Shanti will risk everything and everyone he loves. Meanwhile, the townsfolk are hungry. The townsfolk must be fed... "Joseph D'Lacey rocks!" â??
