Orion Rising


Orion Kim was a hidden boy who thought he was an orphan, and painfully ordinary. But it all changed in an instant. Now Orion must piece together his ties to a dangerous family and a potentially disastrous destiny before that destiny catches up with him—and everyone he loves. For Orion, being Starborn just might mean he has the power to take down an empire.

Orion and the Starborn

$12.99 - $20.99

Book 1 in the Orion Rising Series


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.

Return to the stars in Book 2 of the Orion Rising Series...


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…
