The Three

By: Travis Daniel Bow

Narrated by: Travis Daniel Bow

Tel, the blacksmith's son, was a Two until someone stole his father's tools, livelihood, and dignity. No longer able to live among the craftsmen on the second terrace of the city, Tel's family is consigned to work as day-laborer Threes in the squalor of the third terrace. Seeing his mother in poverty is hard enough, but seeing his father broken is too much for Tel to bear.

But the Lu is coming. Tel has one chance - in the ancient ritual battle of the classes - to win back his family's honor. And he will do whatever it takes.

Great story!

I thought I had figured out the direction pretty early on in the story, but to my surprise, there was a great unexpected twist at the end!

Worth the buy!

A great story with a great message

I found the story engaging and the message of not allowing power to define your fate inspiring. The author did a great job narrating his own story. I highly recommend listening to this tale.

Can't wait for the full novel!

Love this story. I was elated to hear it was being made into a full length novel!
