Hunted. Isolated. Protected from endless jungle by high stone walls.

Jotelan dreams of being a warrior, of taking the fight beyond the wall. Of changing things. His path is clear, for there is but one way forward: the Roving Guard. Competition is fierce, beginning with three years of gruelling training.

Life, though, is rarely straightforward for a people spitting distance from extinction. Walls can be breached, defences overrun. And now, for the first time in centuries, the enemy is evolving. Learning. Probing for weakness. Taking interest in him. 

Dreams in disarray, Jotelan must find a new way forward. Become stronger. Forge his own path.

And soon. For there exist far greater threats in this world than infested jungles. 

Control is the first book of Pathways of Karr, a series that weaves together progression, epic and high fantasy.
