My father’s departure is etched in my mind, a cold dawn and a heavy promise...

He knelt, looked me in the eye, "Tomi, you are the man of the house now. Take care of your mother."

Just like that, he was gone. Leaving me, a boy, burdened by a man's duty

A story about rebellion against a tyrannical king, a city on the edge and a young man with memories not his own that might just hold the key to saving them all

Your One Job is to SURVIVE

This isn't one of my popular books. Its a stand alone, emotional survival fantasy but its something that I needed to write.
