KAYLEN'S RISING
by Yves Robichaud
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Kaylen has been in the dark for fourteen
years – in every sense. His people are hunted, so they must struggle to survive
within underground caves. His community despises his family, taunting him constantly.
His parents keep him housebound, forbidding him from wielding sword or wand.
When he is finally allowed to attend school, the harsh truth reveals
he has much to learn – including a unique magical ability. Kaylen can summon
and control skeletons!
With surface-dwellers threatening war, he will need every friend he
can make, and to stay true to himself if he is to survive what is to come.

EXCERPT:
Chapter 13: Preparation for the first mission
“Are you excited about our first mission?” asked Turin
“Yes and no.” stated Avery. “I'm not sure that I want to come
face to face with Locien, the Snake Dragon. I've heard stories about this
creature destroying complete armies.”
“Let's hope Erynel's plan works and we can just go collect
the scales while Locien is away so we don't have to face her,” said Kaylen.
“Erynel… why does she hate you so much, Kaylen?” asked Turin
“I don't know—I seem to have that effect on people,” replied
Kaylen, looking at Avery and smiling.
Avery looked down, embarrassed.
Alysse sat there quietly, trying to take in as much as she
could.
Everyone stopped talking when Erynel walked into the room.
Kaylen was impressed as to how someone so young could command such a presence.
“Today, you all leave on your first major mission. Do not
think of this as a social event or an adventure. We have a specific task, and
if you wish to be admitted to the League of the Shadows, you will obey my
commands at all times. This mission is a dangerous one. Chances are that not
all of you will make it back alive. One single mistake can cost us dearly. Stay
close to the group, and don't do anything unless I tell you to.”
