Orphan: Book One: Chronicles of the Fall

OrphanMagic is a myth, there is no such thing as fate, and a nameless orphan can change the way society sees him. Or so Tristan believes, as he is the hero of his own story.Determined to escape the unwanted future mapped for him by his adoptive parents, Tristan soon discovers that magic is indeed real, fate can be manipulated by a determined mind, and society does not give a damn for the desires of a youth on adulthood's threshold.In possession of information that could change the balance of power in Western Celerus, Tristan must - with the aid of a Hillffolk wildman, a hapless bard, and young political prisoner - escape imprisonment by the mysterious and sadistic Grand Duchess of Anahar and evade pursuit by ruthless Dushken huntsmen on the most dangerous adventure he never imagined:The journey home.A touch of George RR Martin, a dash of Jacqueline Carey, a sprinkle of Tolkien, and a hint of Lloyd Alexander. The first novel in Chronicles of the Fall, Orphan is a character-focused novel with adult themes and content that sets the stage for events of the complete saga.
