In AJ15, Arren, an Oblate without a Cloister, is separated from everyone and everything he knows. Lost, he trusts his faith and his sword as he journeys to new communities and into new temptations. Reunited with his fellow Oblates, he discovers that he is still lost, and a terrifying encounter leads them all into new danger. Conflicted, he makes a decision that will affect every human being. This is his testimony. The Oblate's handbook, Trinity Cloister, London. Appendix I. AWAKENING: Two thousand years after the resurrection: AD 2033.
