Goodreads Synopsis:
The weapons master once said, “Everything we want is on the other side of fear.”
The journey begins…
Long ago, a mysterious event ravaged Earth. Magic was born.
Millennia later, a baby with red eyes is abandoned at the gates of a small kingdom. The orphan, Chip, is condemned by a spiteful king to a life of servitude in the royal kitchens until he serendipitously finds himself before the powerful wizard Xander, who sees something special in the boy. From the rhythmic, sleepy life in the kingdom to seeking the fabled Pass of Death for his Manhood Quest, Chip’s story is brimming with arcane magic, gut-wrenching emotion, and lessons about the tenacious will of the human spirit.
Follow the orphan as he encounters an ancient evil and makes a stunning revelation…
Enter an addictively satisfying world of bravery, battle, friendship, and ferocity. Orphan’s Quest is an action-packed journey replete with hard-fought lessons of wisdom and impossible choices. This series delves into the illusion of self-imposed limits and entices us to break through our walls.
Join Chip as he grapples with friendship, love, hate and betrayal in an epic adventure inspired by the timeless, unparalleled works of the fantasy legends.
Review:
This book is a thrilling start to a fantasy series. It starts at the beginning of Chip’s life as an abandoned baby and ends in his adolescence, when he was embarking on an adventure. I felt completely immersed in this world. It had an interesting magic system, with the type of magic the wizard had being shown in their eye colour. This book is a short and exciting introduction to this series!
Orphan’s Quest is a great fantasy story!
