Description
Forced into slavery at a young age, Roran Stormlight has never known an easy life. Even after being rescued and adopted by one of the most powerful men in the known galaxy, Orion Stormlight, a determined and much-respected hero, he is still faced with a monsoon of problems. As a prince, he is expected to succeed his adoptive father and claim the crown. He would be responsible for leading an entire kingdom filled with those who don't even view him as a legitimate heir to the throne. Just a mere no-named, slave boy favored by the spirits of fortune. Eager to prove the naysayers wrong, Roran lusts for little more than a chance to show his father and the kingdom as a whole what he's really worth. An opportunity to become a true leader, a hero. And, as fate would have it, he would very much receive the moment he so desperately craves. During a trip to their vacation villa on a foreign planet, the royal family is attacked by a troupe of fierce, murderous criminals. Outlanders intent on capturing the king and queen. Should anyone stand in their way, they'd be erased without question. Now, the future of House Stormlight rests in the staggering hands of the future king. Applying faith to both his skills as well as his closest comrades, Roran must devise a plan to rescue his new family from the clutches of despair. Clinging onto a fragile sense of courage, the Orphan Prince sets forth to become the aegis of everyone he holds dear.
