Hunter's Apprentice

Summary

In a war-torn kingdom, a young boy's path to manhood is forged in violence, loss, and a mysterious power that may be his only hope.

Tomi is a boy when his father, a hunter, leaves their village, entrusting him with their home's protection. In a land ravaged by war, Tomi bears responsibilities far beyond his years. As the Three Prince War looms, he's thrust into a world of brutal choices and deadly encounters, where his innocence is lost to bloodshed and treachery. From defending his family to surviving in the wild, Tomi learns life's harshest realities. Amid the darkness, he discovers Pathos—a mysterious gift from his father that sharpens his connection to the world around him and may be his key to enduring the trials ahead.

As the kingdom's fate hangs in the balance, Tomi's journey will shape him into the man he's destined to become—if he can survive long enough.
