Kaylen's Rising

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.

That's exactly what you will get reading Kaylen's Rising." - Roxana Turcitu, for Review Worm "Kaylen's journey to self-awareness is finely woven through his exciting adventures.
