Kalupsia 1: The Journey

Kalupsia: The Journey is centered around Skia, a fifteen year old ‘handicapped’ boy with unusual abilities. Adopted by a renown hero at his father’s dying wish, he is about to discover that his adopted father had more than one reason to take him in...
For “Dad”/Master Kyros was a man who would risk all to end the curse that haunted their world. Daring in his generation to use a chance his ancestors never had, he plans an Expedition to seek a place of legends and the answers he needs to cleanse their world despite the threats of the Dreadlords (who declare war because of the Expedition).
Accompanied by his wolfcat and his boomerang through a world that uses martial arts rather than firearms (metal is rare because mining is extremely dangerous), Skia goes through The Journey with sensibility more than valor, humility more than gallantry, as well as a mix of dark secrecy and charming laugh-out-loud innocence in the face of teenage life on a world with its own unique culture.
