Guided by an unseen mentor, and protected by a loyal guardian, Jay stepped out of the shadows and found the world waiting for him. Having lived in seclusion, not yet in his teens, he caught the attention of bounty hunters and assassins because he broke the highest law and practiced magic. Unaware of the extent of what he could do, Jay discovers that he is endowed with extraordinary abilities. Rough and untrained, he seeks the skills of an ancient teacher, a man of legend, a man whose knowledge spans generations.

Through journals left by his father, and poems hidden by his mother, Jay finds comfort in his adopted family’s home. He learns why he is so powerful and why the Idols are watching him. Will Jay have the strength to endure, or will the weight of his destiny be too much for him to carry?
