The Orphan and The Sky
by Megan Christen

What if the key to saving the world lay in the hands of a child everyone forgot? In a world fractured by loss and ruled by tyrants and dreamers, a nameless orphan learns that the sky itself holds the secrets of origin, destiny, and power. Tied before birth to the shards of an ancient world—which may also be the secrets to restoring it—the orphan journeys out into the wide, forbidden sky to discover the truth of their past and to shape the future of everything. As strange allies gather—a wanderer with the heart of a pirate, a queen torn between duty and love, and elders who speak for the hidden realms beneath the earth and whose memories reach back into the mists of time—the orphan must decide whether to rise into their destiny or remain shackled by the scars of the past. Can they reunite the scattered shards of Oridane before it’s too late?

Megan Christen is many things: writer, community storyteller, spoken-word performer, myth-lover, survivor, debut novelist, lifelong student of the world. But a resume—even one with seven diplomas and a Bachelor of Arts degree—never tells the whole story. In the alchemy of all her parts, she’s found a passion for epic fantasy that wanders across faraway worlds while telling stories that resonate honestly in human hearts. When she’s not reaching for the sky with her imagination, Christen is a creative artist of all kinds, a lover of the outdoors, a traveler, and a mother who finds joy and inspiration in her children.
