James Tadworthy lives in a post-holocaust society in which there are no wars, no crime, no pollution, no disease and no work. Everyone lives in perfect harmony with their tamed environment and all knowledge is controlled by the Shepherds, a group who selflessly dedicate their lives to humanity's welfare and best interests. But when Tadworthy finds out the Shepherd's shocking and closely-guarded secret, he is launched on a quest through a dark labyrinth of underground passageways to discover what really lies behind the mysterious Third Seal.
