Publisher's Synopsis
It will be 10 years since his mother's death. In the wake of the anniversary, an unexpected surprise will change this young man's outlook on life. Everyone expected him to be strong. They didn't know he was still grieving his mother. That at fourteen he had not fully "adjusted" to his father's expectations. And now he has little time to prepare his own troubling feelings as the Tribute memorial approaches. As the anniversary arrives, Troy finds himself preparing for something else-his role in the kingdom of Aegea. His new role can change the way his father sees him or how he even views himself. But an unexpected surprise comes along the way that might give him a new outlook on life. The anticipated companion to Before the Legend, brings a coming-of-age tale of pain, belonging, and resilience that will challenge what it means to be different in a world of conformity.
