William, Matilda, Olga, Max, and Artan have left Edin behind. There's nothing for them there other than painful memories and the diseased. Now they have to find a home, and they have to find one fast because roaming the wilderness is like walking through hell. If they lower their guard for a second, they'll become one of the foetid creatures. But they have hope in the form of a map. It shows communities beyond Edin's walls. Maybe they'll find somewhere better than the oppressive regime they've left behind. Although maybe they're aiming a little too high. Maybe they need to wait and see what the larger world has to offer. And maybe they need to concentrate on surviving long enough to find out. After Edin, book five of Beyond These Walls takes William and his friends away from the only home they've ever known and into the wastelands. They've spent a lifetime questioning it, and now they're about to find out what lies beyond Edin's walls.
