Summary

Out in the wilderness of the Divided States lay a city called Flynn...

Flynn is circled by walls. The great outer wall is a fortification to protect the living. The inner wall is a great unfinished project to honor the dead. The inner wall was started ages ago after the terrible war that sundered the lands when a group of artists gathered up the remains of that war and tried to create beauty from them. Generations later, people who can find no other work are given the task of preparing the city's dead for the wall and continuing to build it.

A foreigner from the Re-United states comes to investigate this subset of people to learn about them in order to create a record of their work and lives.... to live among them... to make unexpected friends.
