Aren has never understood why everyone seems to know what his life should look like. Go to school. Find a job. Make money. Start a family. Repeat. But Aren doesn't want that life. He wants to see the world for himself and decide how he will live. So when he finally gets the chance to leave everything behind, he chooses the one thing he has always wanted: freedom. But the world beyond his home is far larger—and far more dangerous—than he ever imagined. Gods, warriors, strange powers, and people who see the world in completely different ways await him. And as Aren travels farther from home, his simple desire to live freely will eventually become something much greater.
