The plot

• Rye has lived all his life in the walled city of
  Weld, and every year he and his family (his
  mother and two older brothers) have endured the
  terrifying attacks of the winged Skimmers with
  their taste for human meat. But the attacks are
  growing worse, the Warden seems indecisive and
  his brothers speak of the need for changemaybe
  even rebellion. When the Warden calls for
  Volunteers to find and destroy the enemy who
  sends the Skimmers to destroy Weld's populace,
  red-headed Rye and his widowed mother watch in
  silence when first bold Dirk then subtle Sholto
  go forth into the unknown. They do not return and
  Rye realizes that to save his family, if not his
  city, he must go in search of his brothers.
  Young, unskilled, innocent and sensitive, Rye is
  motivated not by the desire for fame or glory but
  the desperate need to ease his mother's griefand
  his own.
