These seemingly unrelated events slowly come together in a gripping coming-of-age story filled with danger and darkness.Arel Herbrand, author of two short story collections (Brian Court and Jogging with Jerry), a graphic novel (Kings of Overgrove), and several stage and screenplays, explores how heroes are not born—but shaped. Shaped by time. Hardened by trials. Defined by their stand against evil.

Their journey, like a river, twists and turns. But rivers don’t really meander—they only appear to. The path is always there, waiting.
