In the forenoon of creation, a company of boys set out on a journey to become men. The yearlong rite of passage will challenge all they know and everything they believe possible. Egridin really didn't have a choice. All boys his age were sent away to become men. This year, twelve in all would make the journey, twelve very naïve boys struggling with their own inadequacies, insecurities, and tortured pasts. Like the rest, Egridin knew his passage into manhood would be hard, but he never dreamed it would be this difficult. When he and his companions unwittingly become entangled in a scheme certain to change the course of human destiny, everything changes. Their only hope is survival, and on a journey already wrought with failure, that is no easy task. Drawn into an adventure where life and death hang in delicate balance, the boys face unimaginable challenges: mysterious ghost winds, powerful Watchers, dark caverns, and a hideous new race of creatures called the nephilim. Strangely, it is in the midst of such impossible odds that Egridin discovers the true meaning of manhood. If all myth is rooted in truth, then the world of fantasy must find its origin in reality. Called Out introduces us to that world, a time before legends formed fables and gave birth to whimsical story-telling. Tantalizing the imagination, this thought-provoking, epic adventure takes the reader on an unforgettable journey of discovery, and unravels ancient mysteries long ago hidden. Today, boys are desperate to become men, but are confused about how to get there. Called Out is my response to that confusion. Society has redefined manhood and people are frustrated with the results. At the same time, boys are crying out for help, but have no one to mentor them. Called Out will be a guide in this time of need. This book is a stimulating and entertaining story for all who love adventure, and arouses thought-provoking questions for a culture confused about the true nature of manhood.
