The ancient country of Catapult has thrived for centuries because it will always rely on the Parable. It has never failed, and even today it continues to be the best and only true system that the nation of Catapult uses. This same competition that has been practiced again and again is unparalleled in excellence.
The Parable was designed to find the young man best suited for the kingdom by testing strength, intelligence, and willingness to succeed. Times may change, but the Parable does not. It will forever be perfect.
One of those in the Parable is Juke of Hayden. From a small village, Juke is discovering for the first time just how difficult the Parable will be. Juke, we believe, is in danger. If his enemies start to harm him, they will not stop. Over time, more threats will come.
If he is going to win the Parable, Juke must overcome his powerful rivals. He is outnumbered, but Juke knows that the virtuous path isn't always the easiest way.
