In the forenoon of creation, a company of boys set out on a journey
to become men. The yearlong rite of passage will challenge all they
know and everything they believe possible. Egridin really didn't
have a choice. All boys his age were sent away to become men. This
year, twelve in all would make the journey, twelve very naive boys
struggling with their own inadequacies, insecurities, and tortured
pasts. Like the rest, Egridin knew his passage into manhood would
be hard, but he never dreamed it would be this difficult. It took
months before he felt comfortable with the day-to-day struggles,
and even then it wasn't easy. When he and his companions
unwittingly become entangled in a scheme certain to change the
course of human destiny, everything changes. Their only hope is
survival, and on a journey already wrought with failure, that is no
easy task. Drawn into an adventure where life and death hang in
delicate balance, the boys face unimaginable challenges: mysterious
ghost winds, powerful Watchers, dark caverns, and a hideous new
race of creatures called the nephilim. Strangely, it is in the
midst of such impossible odds that Egridin discovers the true
meaning of manhood. If all myth is rooted in truth, then the world
of fantasy must find its origin in reality. Called Out introduces
us to that world, a time before legends formed fables and gave
birth to whimsical story-telling. Tantalizing the imagination, this
thought-provoking, epic adventure takes the reader on an
unforgettable journey of discovery, and unravels ancient mysteries
long ago hidden. Today, boys are desperate to become men, but are
confused about how to get there. Called Out is my response to that
confusion. Society has redefined manhood and people are frustrated
with the results. At the same time, boys are crying out for help,
but have no one to mentor them. Called Out will be a guide in this
time of need. This book is a stimulating and entertaining story for
all who love adventure, and arouses thought-provoking questions for
a culture confused about the true nature of manhood.
