Many perilous paths…

One fate

For years, young Perus has dreamed of competing in the Contest of Mastery, a grueling daylong footrace that will take him from the shelter of his home in the underground metropolis of Apelios through an untamed and treacherous journey that will test his mettle to the utmost.

He knows that if he wins, he will earn the right to go topside and travel off-world—allowing him, at last, to see the nine moons and stars for himself - just as he had heard in the tales of his childhood.

What he does not know is that, for him, the race is only the beginning. His journey will take him further than he ever imagined, bringing him face to face with a wicked foe whose dark designs once shattered an interplanetary empire. In order to claim his destiny, Perus will have to make new friends, defeat old monsters, and wholly master a long-forgotten mystic art form...all while harnessing mental powers and racing for his life.
