Description

"I've learnt plenty, Mr Faull, but it all comes down to this: there is freedom and then there is everything else." He opened the door. "And today I give away everything else, and I choose freedom." - Into the River So ends the first part of Devon's journey, from nearly drowning in a tapu river to his expulsion from an exclusive Boy's school. Into the World is where Devon begins to understand just how costly that freedom is. That decisions made quickly can lead to disaster. That loyalty counts for nothing until it is tested. That love, like security is nothing more than a commodity.
