Ben is now facing the biggest challenge in his life. He hid and ran from the monster in his home avoiding the beatings and terror this man his mother married delivered if he was caught. Now, in this new land, the people here have trained and nurtured him and assured him he is their champion. He is but a boy but must face a man's battle to save the people he has grown to love and care about. He cannot run from this evil and must face it head on. If he fails, it is not just another beating but loss of all the people he has grown to love. He has trained and studied the use of the Hooded Guilds, and his feelings of fear and inadequacies must be put out of mind if he is to persevere and triumph. He has no choice but to save the people of the land made the correct choice or will their choice cost all their futures.
