The Orphan Soldier

A prequel to Journey to the Place She Belongs, The Orphan Soldier is a story of Zayd's upbringing. Zayd has a unique ability, even amongst his own kind. This sets him apart from others and often causes him to seek solitude. Luckily, a couple of people from the orphanage take an interest in him and help him to nurture his abilities rather than suppress them as he is expected to do. However, Zayd's fortune might be taking a turn for the worse now that people higher up have discovered his abilities and plan to use them for their own agendas.
