The Unfinished Verse is an epic coming-of-age fantasy that follows a young man as he journeys beyond the only home he has ever known into a continent of ancient cultures, sacred traditions, and breathtaking landscapes. Along the way, he forges unlikely friendships, discovers that every people holds only part of the truth, and learns that understanding others can be as difficult - and as important - as facing any enemy. As old divisions deepen and a growing threat begins to disturb the balance of the world, he must decide what kind of person he will become.
