Description:

In the wake of being horribly tortured... with a plague ravaging the land, and a rebellion in full swing, Timon Baker is struggling to hold his world together.

It isn't enough to simply be himself, or take time to heal like a normal person. No, people want things from him. Hard things that will shape his life forever, ripping at the very fabric of what, and who, he thought he was.

Life however, is never fair, which is a lesson that he knows very well. So when a friend of his brother's comes to him for help, Tim decides to aid her, even though is isn't the most pleasant thing ever imagined on a personal level. You have to help those you can. At least in theory.

Uncovering even more secrets about himself and the world he lives in, it becomes clear that there's no way for a boy from Two Bends to handle the world he finds himself in. Not alone. Meaning that he has to become something very different than what nature intended him to be. Too young for it or not, Timon Baker has to become a man.

If he can survive, it might just work.

From the Author

Someone once asked me if I was insane.

To be fair and honest, I've gotten this question more than the one time, but for now I just want to talk about that one. You see, I'd just gotten done facing a very dangerous person at the time and suggested to them that, if they wanted to live, they needed to run away.

It makes me sound all tough to say it that way, doesn't it?

The point however was that in hindsight, wondering if I was a little bit gone in the head was a perfectly natural, and most likely correct thing to ask. Who does that kind of thing?

But at the time, I had no clue I wasn't being perfectly reasonable.

That idea, not knowing if your being crazy or not, is central to this work. Don't worry, it isn't goofy or overly playful about it, there are no purple dragons asking about breakfast cereal or anything of the sort. No, this is a quiet thing that pervades the background of the story. It's the kind of thing that anyone that's ever had a very bad thing happen to them has to eventually ask themselves.

"Am I sane anymore?"

Which brings to the front another question, one that I think we've all asked ourselves, in the deep and dark corners of the night.

"Does it matter?"

Enjoy the book! There's something in it for almost everyone!

P.S. Power enjoys both very long distance running and cake. This unending war is hard fought daily. A battle between the drive to succeed and the desire to let go and eat the delicious fruits that labor has provided.

Which side will win? Who really knows. Right now a nice vanilla frosting sounds pretty good, but when doesn't it?
