About this listen
In a war-torn kingdom, a young boy's path to manhood is forged in violence, loss, and a mysterious power that may be his only hope.
Tomi is a boy when his father, a hunter, leaves their village, entrusting him with their home's protection. In a land ravaged by war, Tomi bears responsibilities far beyond his years. As the Three Prince War looms, he's thrust into a world of brutal choices and deadly encounters, where his innocence is lost to bloodshed and treachery. From defending his family to surviving in the wild, Tomi learns life's harshest realities. Amid the darkness, he discovers Pathos—a mysterious gift from his father that sharpens his connection to the world around him and may be his key to enduring the trials ahead.
As the kingdom's fate hangs in the balance, Tomi's journey will shape him into the man he's destined to become—if he can survive long enough.

Story
Cid, a seasoned city guard for the past 20 years, has traded in his sword for a fishing rod and a peaceful life as a farmer in the charming and cozy village of Haven. Surrounded by former battlemages and their families, Cid finds himself drawn into the local community's struggles and triumphs, including the occasional misuse of magic and a wee bit of revelry. With Maggie, the local tavern owner and love interest, by his side, Cid learns to appreciate the slower pace of village life and the joys of baking, cooking competitions, and marshalling the occasional scoundrel.
