Orion Rising Book 1: ORION AND THE STARBORN

Praise for Orion and the Starborn

“Orion and the Starborn is a fascinating and otherworldly adventure. Mysterious origins, emerging powers, and strange new civilizations—once again, K.B. Hoyle shows herself to be a master world-builder and storyteller.” —Scott James, author of The Sower, The Littlest Watchman, The Expected One, and Where Is Wisdom?
​
"Orion and the Starborn is exactly the kind of book I want to read—and share with everyone I know. Its engaging characters and outstanding storytelling make it one I'll be returning to again and again." —Aaron Armstrong, author of Epic: The Story that Changed the World
Twelve-year-old Orion Kim is a hidden boy who knows nothing of his birth. He also thinks he’s human. Some believe him to be dangerous—destined to bring down an empire in the stars. So when an assassin attacks him on his sleepy Atlanta street, Orion has to flee across the galaxy to find out who he is and the meaning behind the new powers coursing through his veins. As he learns more about his powers and their connection to the star-like marks on his chest, Orion attracts curious attention from a watchful protector, the enigmatic royal family of his new home planet, and a host of shadowy, undead creatures. What Orion wants most of all is to find his father and mother, who he’s never known.

​But finding his parents could lead to the death of worlds.

Orion Rising Book 2: ORION AND THE DOOR OF ECHOES

After a year at the Stellar Academy and a devastating trip to the soothsaying Sibyls in the mind-swirling Nebula, thirteen-year-old Orion Kim is confident he now knows who he is—or does he? 
​
When his return to the three worlds in the stars leads to violent emotional outbursts that leave him confused and unable to trust his own mind or body, Orion turns for answers to the people who have always helped him. This time, though, his mentors leave him hanging, holding secrets close and treating Orion like he is an odd, mythological relic rather than a confused teenager in need of guidance. When even Orion’s friends seem afraid of what he’s becoming, it’s a mysterious memory-filled Door that may be the only way for him to reclaim not just his life, but his soul, too.

But the Door may hold secrets of its own…
