Once Upon... Not Yet

In a medieval land embroiled perpetually in war one boy is chosen for a mission that may stem the tide. But he must focus on the task at hand and not be side-tracked by the people and things standing between him and duty. Asa the son of Radnar and Abigail lives in Sharon a small community in alliance with other towns and shires forming the Union under which the Order of the Rose presides; and he has been elected to journey to a faraway land with the endorsement of the Earth's under-gods known as the Elder. In his odyssey Asa will retrieve a unique rose that exists in the desert along with the mystical Fire of Unknown Origin from the Guardians in High Haven in the hopes that it will up-end the advantage that the Dark Lord and his army has and which increases with each battle in the un-ending conflict between the Rosarians and the Black Horde in the Psychic Wars. But there are many miles between Sharon and High Haven… There are numerous distractions… There will be several people Asa will meet along the way. And SOME of them won't want the boy to return to Sharon…
