Description - Yoss by Odo Hirsch

""TOWNS SWALLOW MEN up, Yoss. They're hungry. People disappear into them and are never heard from again.""
From an idyllic village high in the mountains, a boy of 14 sets out to encounter the world. On the plain below, a town sweats with schemes and deceptions. Merchant, mistress, trickster, thief--many are drawn to this innocent newcomer. But all who seek to possess him will pay a price.
