The Last Orellen

According to prophecy, the ninth-born child of House Orellen will wield world-shaking power—a prospect that terrifies the ruling magical dynasties. To protect their heir from assassination, the Orellens enact a desperate gambit: using forbidden magic, they create hundreds of decoys, each implanted with false memories, altered appearances, and unique magical gifts before being scattered across the continent. Among them hides the true ninth-born, though none know who it is—including the decoys themselves. Kalen awakens in a strange land with a new name, a reforged body, and fragmented recollections of his past. Hunted by those who would eliminate every potential heir, he must unravel the truth of his identity while mastering the unstable magic burning within him. Survival means staying ahead of assassins, navigating treacherous alliances, and uncovering why he alone might be the key to upending the world’s balance of power. One boy carries a destiny that could reshape the continent—if he lives long enough to claim it.
