Ruby Jones never thought she would amount to much. Life was hard, and everywhere she looked, she saw nothing but liars and deadbeats. If only someone could do something about all the terrible people in the world.

Before long, she and her friend Ron embark on an unexpected journey that takes them to a hidden, parallel world called Alungapu, where a group of enslaved people are oppressed by a merciless ruling class. Together with Ron's ability to detect lies, Ruby must find a way to free the slaves and fight for a more just society. But when the King of Alungapu strikes a bargain, she'll have to decide what's more her duty to protect the weak, or her loyalty to Ron
