As the weapons master once said, "Everything you want is on the other side of fear."
The journey begins...
Long ago, a mysterious event known as The Great Forget ravaged the Earth. Magic was born.
Millennia later, a baby with red eyes is abandoned at the gates of a small kingdom whose sole mandate is to guard the Pass of Death. The young orphan, Chip, is condemned by a spiteful king to a life of misery in the castle kitchens, where he is looked upon with disdain and treated as an outcast.
In an unexpected turn, Chip befriends the princess and catches the eye of the wise wizard Xander, who sees something special in the boy. The wizard sends the orphan to train with the land's most powerful mentor, the weapons master, where he learns timeless truths, hones his skills, and prepares for the ultimate test—his Manhood Quest to the Pass of Death.
There, unbeknownst to all, an ancient evil awaits, and a stunning revelation...
Thrust from the sleepy danger of the palace kitchens and royal stables to the howling winds of the fabled pass, the orphan is about to discover a world far more deadly than anything he ever imagined.
Join Chip as he discovers hidden truths and learns what is on the other side of fear...
for he may be humanity's last hope.
