The Stowaway is the first Stone of Tymora book in this series and it is the book that is going to introduce you to this thrilling character whom we speak of. His name is Maimun and he is just a teenage boy who is way too young to be guarding such an important secret.

The secret that this boy is guarding is already jeopardizing this boy’s life and he has actually been marked for death because of it. Now, this boy is forced to abandon his home and leave the village in which he had been living for so long as a mysterious stranger helps Maimun flee out to sea.
