The Orphans
Paperback
(Wet Bandit, Inc. June 11, 2015)
, First edition
Five teens connected by fate. An age-old battle between good and evil. A war that only the Orphans can end.
It was an accident. That was what the authorities said killed Charlie Kim's parents. And in Charlie's mind, that was how it had to be. An accident meant closure. It meant that the driven fifteen-year-old could move on, reassemble his life, and return to pursuing the carefully planned future that he had mapped out for himself.
However, when memories of his parents begin to vanish and suspicions arise, calling the accidental nature of their deaths into question, Charlie can't help but begin to doubt himself, his plans, and those around him.
Doubt leads to discovery as Charlie locates four fellow orphans whose parents met similar ends. The teens quickly find themselves thrust into the center of an underground battle between good and evil that dates all the way back to the War in Heaven.
With the scales in this conflict tipping toward the side of darkness, it’s up to the Orphans to save humanity. But, if they hope to stand a chance against the ultimate evil, they must first overcome the demons within.
This fast-paced fantasy thriller not only entertains but also enlightens through a gripping tale of loss and rebirth that introduces mindfulness and meditation as a means to overcoming anxiety and finding happiness.
