KAYLEN'S RISING
by Yves
Robichaud
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
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.

Excerpt One:
Chapter 3: Kaylen summons his first skeleton
As Kaylen repeated the words, the strangest thing happened.
The earth in Kaylen’s hand started moving. At first it was very slow but then
much quicker, in a circular motion like a tiny tornado. The small twister then
hopped off of Kaylen’s hand and headed straight for the ground. Once it hit the
ground, it disappeared into the floor.
As this was the first sign that Kaylen had any magical
powers, he was smiling brightly when he asked the professor what was going on.
“Wait,” said the professor, not looking up at the boy. His
eyes were still trained on the floor.
Suddenly, the ground started shaking. In the middle of the
floor where the dirt had disappeared, a skeleton hand popped out from the
ground. Then a second skeleton hand popped out. The hands seemed to brace
themselves on the floor to pull up the rest of the body as the head, torso,
and, eventually, the legs magically appeared from below. The full skeleton
stood up in the middle of the room. It was at least six feet tall, with sparkling
white bones, and… strangely enough… it had Kaylen's bright green eyes.
