In Pilgrim, Anna, the devout daughter of a powerful Guildmaster, shocks herself and her town by taking up with the roguish pot mender, Tinker. When her reckless Tinker finds his father murdered, he lashes out at the Guildmasters, who throw him in prison -- leaving Anna alone to fend for herself. From an old lunatic in his cell, Tinker learns that he is the one who will lead his people out the city's Gates to everlasting freedom. All he must do is find the key... locked in his own dream world.
