A young protagonist becomes involved in carrying news through a society unsettled by revolutionary ideas and government repression. Postal routes, messengers and unofficial networks turn communication into dangerous political work.
The novel connects local experience to the wider Age of Revolutions and asks who controls the movement of information. Trease emphasises ordinary carriers, popular politics and the uneven meaning of freedom rather than focusing only on celebrated leaders.
