For as long as Korrsha can remember, he has been an outsider: the boy with no past, raised within the walls of Kathun Seth Nayah, the ancient Temple of the Moon. When a cruel mistake drives him to flee into the deadly mountains above Karoo Khim, he expects only to die among the peaks, hunted by the same monstrous Xal'shira that have devoured pilgrims for generations.
Instead, he finds a wounded pup, and in saving it, saves himself.
As Korrsha and the creature he names Gaar grow inseparable, bonded by a connection he cannot explain, he begins to suspect that everything he was taught about his world, his people, and himself was a lie. Fragments of forgotten memory surface. Old wounds resurface with them. And somewhere beyond the valley, an enemy that should not exist is watching, waiting for him to remember who he really is.
To survive what is coming, Korrsha will need to embrace a truth the temple buried long ago, one that could restore his people's lost power or destroy them completely.
Rich with ancient mystery, forbidden bonds, and a found family worth fighting for, Master's Apprentice is the first step in an epic fantasy of identity, loyalty, and the cost of remembering.
