The Wagon Riders were a strange race. They were nomads, traveling from place to place in carriages pulled by two giant shire horses. Wagons, varying in colors from a fiery red to a somber purple; they put much care into the wagons, For it was their home. But these were just the wagons, the people who lived in them were even more interesting. They were known as thieves to outsiders, but if you were to ask a wagon rider if they really were thieves, they would neither confirm or deny it. Instead they would just avoid the question altogether. But this story is not about this misunderstood people. Its about the adventure of a boy who, because of his predetermined fate, was more strange than the wagon riders he lived with, and the grievous hardships he suffered.
