'Reminds me of the first time I read The Alchemist.'
—Sarah Larkham Hall, Author

They said he was unworthy. The gods said otherwise.

Rejected by his village, Tiago finds refuge in the forest with a master archer who teaches him the old ways—how to read the wind, see through a falcon's eyes, and trust the pull of the bow when all else falls silent.

But mastery is not the same as purpose.

When iron-clad invaders bring fire and blood to his home, Tiago faces a test no training could prepare him for. One moment. One shot. One chance to prove the gods do not choose by ceremony alone—they choose by fire, by faith, by the arrow loosed in the dark.

Some legends are born in ritual. Others are forged in ash.

A standalone mythic tale steeped in folklore, faith, and the transformation of an outcast into legend.
