Destined for Greatness

Kendall is certain that his future holds grander things than being an inn-keeper's boy. The problem is, the Fates - if they even exist - don't seem to agree. But when a chance encounter with a strange old woman hands him a chance to take his destiny in his own hands, life suddenly gets much more interesting.
