On the colony world Freedom, reality is a matter of social consensus: what the ruling elite refuse to acknowledge simply doesn't exist. Sculptor Herrin Law is groomed for greatness by the ambitious Waden Jenks, soon to be First Citizen, until Herrin's art collides with the invisible underclass Freedom has willed out of being, and with the question of what's real at all.
