Tyrl of the Tomah

Years ago, Tyrl was taken from his place of birth and brought to a new land, far from the shameful memory of his father. As far as Tyrl knows, his father was a betrayer of the king. His failure led to the loss of the Great Jewel, particularly the Eye of the Hawk that had supplied the magic of the village defense. Without it, the village was lost, so Tyrl was rescued from the ensuing debauchery at the age of two. Now twelve, Tyrl’s important Time of Transformation is upon him. If he comes through successfully, he will find his Life’s Purpose, but if he does not focus his mind and prepare correctly, he will go down the path of madness and death. He’s hopeful but haunted by the shadow of his ancestry. But there’s much more to his father’s story than he ever knew, and a close friend—and even maybe the king—could be to blame. Raised as a fieldworker, Tyrl soon realizes his disgraced father was a man of power. With this new knowledge, he journeys to uncover a great evil. During his quest, he learns the truth about the past, which helps him in the present as he hopes to create a bright future. Tyrl will root out the evil that has besieged his land. The land will be transformed, and one young man will become a leader as people once again come together in peace.
