Cold Tom

When Tom has to run away from the Tribe and the common where he has lived all his life, he escapes to the city of the demons, full of its chariots and houses and noise. The demons are so different from the Tribe, with their clumsy ways and their coarse, loud voices--Tom doesn't want anything to do with them. And he certainly doesn't need their help, because he is wild and free, and won't rely on anyone for anything. And he soon finds that just because he's not interested in the demons, doesn't mean the demons aren't interested in him...
