Step into the shadows between worlds where destiny awaits an ordinary boy. In this gripping installment of Countryside's Book of the Wise, we witness young Luke Rayburn's startling encounter with a mysterious stranger who calls himself Saul.

Surrounded by unnatural darkness in an empty lot, Luke faces a revelation that will forever alter his path. "Unlike any mortal before you," Saul tells him, "your choice will decide for the world between slavery and war or freedom and peace." The weight of this responsibility settles heavily on Luke's shoulders as he learns of an ancient book—coveted by many but meant specifically for him—containing secrets hidden for ages that may determine humanity's fate.

The tension builds as Saul attempts to give Luke a glimpse of what's to come, plunging our protagonist into suffocating darkness before he emerges back into reality, questioning everything he thought he knew. "Why can't I just have a normal calm life?" he asks the night sky, where a red star glares down at him ominously. This moment marks the beginning of Luke's reluctant hero's journey, where the line between the ordinary and extraordinary blurs.

Countryside's Book of the Wise masterfully weaves elements of coming-of-age struggle with high fantasy stakes, creating a story that resonates with readers of all ages. The narrative explores themes of destiny, free will, and the courage required to face the unknown when the world's fate hangs in the balance.
