Description:
The Last Orellenis on hiatus. The break won't last forever, but it will last a long time. I wouldn't count on new chapters in 2025.I still love this story. Some of the notes for it are in a place where I can look at them every day, but I'm not in a place where I can write about Kalen every day. My plate is full of passions, projects, and of course my fair portion of everyday life stuff.I'm fortunate to be very busy, mostly with good things, but it means I can't giveOrellenthe majority of my attention. And when I was writing the last few chapters, I realized that giving it less than that wasn't going to work. It deserves better than the time I can carve out.So I'll be back when the plate is emptier, and I can makeOrellena top priority.I'll have a stack of finished chapters in my hands, and I'll make sure the road ahead of us is clear as far as I can see.Looking forward to it,SieleyAccording to prophecy, the ninth-born child of Lord Orellen will have the sort of power that changes the world. But in a land ruled by magical families, no one welcomes the possibility of a dangerous new player. Fearful even of their allies, the Orellens come up with an extraordinary and deadly scheme to protect themselves.If the most powerful people in the world wish to kill the ninth-born, they will have to find him or her first. And that's not going to be easy when the Orellens have called upon dark magic to create hundreds of heirs. The boys and girls are given new bodies, new names, and even new magical talents before they are scattered across the continent. Only one among them is the real ninth, but all of them will have to grow up in a world where they are fugitives.Kalen, once fated to die, is now an Orellen heir in hiding. And he is determined to survive, even if he has to master his strange new powers to do it.The Last Orellenis a long, character-focused epic fantasy with progression.It's set in a vast universe, and it's about a boy's journey to become a powerful magical practitioner.
