Path to Prominence 

In another world and time humans are no longer the dominant species. What remains are isolated colonies and fractured societies separated by vast wilderness. Highly evolved animals roam between land and water, day or night limiting travel. The remaining individuals, families and races with unique traits and skills settle wherever they can find safety.On a coastal island a young man named Wheel has been working with hundreds of other abductees forced into the territory of deadly predators to gather resources. After five years of planning and aided by his closest allies he unleashes a rebellion that changes the island’s power structure. With new control and authority his group must find a way to insure the survival of all who follow them but across miles of swamp other colonies can be just as hostile as the creatures hidden beneath the surface.In a mountainous forest teams of young hunters must provide for their colony under the supervision of older more experienced leaders. One is a teenager named Harben who’s gifted with a rare ability that helps him survive in the wild. If they manage to return home friends and family work and train together to ensure everyone has what they need. Even surrounded by a harsh environment most know what dangers to expect until one day everything changes forcing Harben and his fellow hunters to put their training to the ultimate test.Two groups are set on missions with their own goals while struggling with personal emotions and conflicting decisions. Everything is connected on a path that may lead to victory or defeat in an unpredictible story of suffering, belief and survival.
