In the building across the street lives a kingpin of crime, isolated from the world, except for one mysterious weekly outing. They don't know each other, but they can see one another. Between them: the void, a police car, and a private fenced-in park under lock and key.

"A dying girl. A sick planet. One last hope to survive. The world is run by !ndustry and the only thing that matters is to buy, buy, buy. People live in crowded cities where cars are stacked vertically and people traverse through corridors and shopping centres that run miles into the sky. Celeste lives in Tower 330 barely visible in the immense city, shrouded by a fog of fumes. On the day she starts school on the 110th floor of a tower block, she meets a lonely, young boy. The next day she doesn't return. Her blood has become as polluted as the seas and rivers. Her lungs as contaminated as the city. On a mission to save her, the boy battles the forces of !ndustry and, with help of his best friend Briss, takes her far, far away. Will the world realise the truth of Celeste's disease? Will there be time for her, and the planet, to recover?"--Publisher's description

V ukrytém údolí Isája, kde žije jen jediná rodina, se znenadání objeví bílý kůň. Malý Lan se nechá odnést na jeho hřbetě — a třináctiletá Alma se vzápětí vydá po bratrových stopách. Svět tam venku je ale úplně jiný než ten, v němž dosud byli doma: někteří lidé v něm jsou otroci, jiní je loví, prodávají a bohatnou na nich. K nejceněnějším otrokům patří příslušníci kmene, z nějž pochází Alma a její rodina. A na jedné otrokářské lodi zatím kluk jménem Josef Mars schovává do kapsy kapitánovy vzácné hodinky… Timothée de Fombelle (autor knih Tobiáš Lolness, Vango, Dva životy pana Perla a Gloria) napsal velké vyprávění o důležitých věcech, a hlavně o svobodě: té vnější i té, kterou nosíme v sobě, té naší i té pro ostatní. Kniha s podtitulem Vítr se zvedá je první ze tří dílů Almina příběhu.
