Review Summary
Edward Forrest is forced to survive after being abandoned by his family. He embarks on a hunt for treasure that takes him far from his home in the common World where he finds a new home at the Academy of the Oracle. Peer pressure is strong as he and his friends are drawn into the circle of The Skobi, a club organized by a fellow classmate named Wyndel. As the school year passes, the evil that lurks outside the walls of the Academy press in ever closer. Edward must make some dangerous choices. At the end of the school year, the final test of his character and skills are measured within the passageways of The Great Labyrinth. Who will stay and who will be lost forever within the mists of the valley?
