The reader learns to steady his hands into a rock steady cantilever. And then comes the twist that elevates this book from "archery manual" to "legend' The reader discovers the secret story woven between the technical chapters- the fictional treat, the epic tale of Auryn, the vessel bearer. A young archer drawn into a cosmic war against the imprisoning Will. Where bows become conduits of time, and arrows become threads of destiny and Identity becomes thread of destiny. Auryn faces Harbingers, Speakers, Wardens, A lawkeeper and eventually the mighty Will itself. Through impossible trials, he learns the same truths that the reader learns, that stability comes from within, that fear yields to focus, and that existence is not granted-it is claimed.

The bowstring has been drawn, and the arrow trembles, and the target waits just beyond the horizon. and the story is merely the beginning.
