I had just been diagnosed with leukemia. I barely had time to accept my fate when I received a message from a mysterious being called the Arrow Bringer: I was the only one who could help save Aletheia from a great evil. And then I condemned an innocent world to death—because I said no. A few days later, I journeyed into Aletheia after learning the consequences of my actions. That Shawn Lawrence, the closest person I have to a friend, had disappeared into Aletheia. That a king had betrayed his people; that his son had inherited a fallen kingdom. That my new friends have to find hope amidst untold danger. And now we must embark upon a mission to save the world I betrayed.
