In the series
Todd and Viola head to Farbranch with Hildy, on their way to Haven, during the events of The Knife of Never Letting Go. Todd however experiences some conflict here due to his relationship to Prentisstown. This mostly comes from from Matthew Lyle, who himself had previously escaped Prentisstown. Hildy's sister Francia is the deputy mayor of the town, and although the identity of the Mayor of Farbranch is never given, it is suggested that Hildy may be the mayor. It is however attacked by Mayor Prentiss's army whilst they are following Todd, and is not mentioned again, presumably destroyed.
