The Last Orellen

A prophecy of world-altering power casts a shadow of peril over the Orellen family, a magical dynasty accustomed to immense influence. The birth of a ninth-born Orellen heir signals impending chaos. To protect themselves from rivals and fearful allies, the Orellens devise a daring scheme: they create numerous false heirs, each with distinct identities and magical abilities, and then disperse them across the continent. Though only one is the true prophesied child, all will endure lives as fugitives, pursued by those eager to exploit or eliminate their potent gifts. Kalen, formerly facing a dire destiny, is now one of these dispersed heirs. Living under an assumed identity, he is learning to master unusual and powerful abilities.
