The Boy Beneath The Sky

In the Kingdom of Solvarin, black hair is the devil's mark — and Aleck has worn it since birth. Abandoned at three. Raised by a priest and a nun in a forgotten church on the outskirts of a city that would sooner spit at his feet than meet his eyes. He has known since he could walk what the world thinks he is. He just refuses to believe them. But the world is changing. Armies stir. Divine beasts awaken. And the man who raised him is keeping secrets that could get them both killed. In a world that never chose him, Aleck still dares to want one thing. Someone who will.
