lost in the twists, turns and dead ends of different mazes in this
Maze Craze non-fiction book.
You have heard the story before - of a young boy, orphaned through
tragic circumstances, raised by a wise old man, who comes to a
fuller knowledge of his magic and uses it to fight the great evil
that threatens his world. But what if the boy hero and the
malevolent, threatening taint were one and the same? What if the
boy slowly came to realize he was the reincarnation of an evil god?
Would he save the world . . . or destroy it? Among the Academy's
warrior-thieves, Annev de Breth is an outlier. Unlike his
classmates who were stolen as infants from the capital city, Annev
was born in the small village of Chaenbalu, was believed to be
executed, and then unknowingly raised by his parents' killers.
Seventeen years later, Annev struggles with the burdens of a
forbidden magic, a forgotten heritage, and a secret deformity. When
he is subsequently caught between the warring ideologies of his
priestly mentor and the Academy's masters, he must choose between
forfeiting his promising future at the Academy or betraying his
closest friends. Each decision leads to a deeper dilemma, until
Annev finds himself pressed into a quest he does not wish to
fulfil. Will he finally embrace the doctrine of his tutors, murder
a stranger, and abandon his mentor? Or will he accept the more
difficult truth of who he is . . . and the darker truth of what he
may become . . .
