The Wrath of the Orphans — Chris Philbrook

From the author of the smash hit horror epic Adrian's Undead Diary, and the Urban Fantasy Tesser: A Dragon Among Us comes... The Wrath of the Orphans. What do you do when everything you've ever known is ripped away from you, leaving nothing but ashes, and charred memories behind? You get angry. So very angry. Malwynn and his twin sister Umaryn live in a small town in northern Varrland. In idyllic New Picknell nearly nothing happens, and when their day to day routine is interrupted by a skirmish between an invading patrol of the dead from The Amaranth Empire and a defending force from Varrland, their world begins to come undone. With international war looming on the horizon New Picknell becomes the center of quite unwanted attention, and the twins have their world shattered. With nothing left to lose, they set out on a mission of vengeance that will take them to places they'd never dreamed of visiting, discovering mystical powers in The Way that will change their lives forever, and revealing dark knowledge best left undiscovered. The Wrath of the Orphans and the world of Elmoryn are filled with elements of dark horror, steam punk, and sorcery. It is an ancient world filled with heroes of immeasurable valor, and and ancient secrets tearing at the past to be known again. Written by the author of the internet phenomenon Adrian's Undead Diary, The Wrath of the Orphans is the first book in a sprawling dark fantasy epic trilogy that is sure to thrill, charm, and disturb.
