"Kaspar Salamandre is a bereaved young artist who is sent to stay with his enigmatic grandfather in a land ruled under an oppressive regime, where there can be only one loved one: The Emperor. In this land where flowers are contraband, music is illegal, and art is created in hiding, Kaspar discovers a world of art revolutionaries, espionage, and the Secret Police. His search for answers will bring him face to face with the meaning of sacrifice. But, will anything bring him closer to overcoming his loss?"-- Provided by publisher.
