Warrior quest

the long version

He has spent his whole life trying to prove himself worthy of his father's crown. By age fifteen, Bomani's warrior skills had surpassed all the boys his age; yet that wasn't enough for him. When the precious Ifa Scepter must be found to save his kingdom, it is Bomani who secretly sets out on this journey to retrieve it, alone. But it is destiny that adds a companion to his solemn quest--a young girl named Farra. This cheerful, chatty, young sorceress is just attaining her powers and has only just begun the sacred magical bond she shares with her wolf pup. Together, they venture deep into the, "Forbidden Expanse," where most other humans would not dare to dwell.
