Book 1: Orphans and Oracles #PhoenixRisingBooks "This time you can save someone." Poor Karlos. As a thirteen-year-old boy it's not easy finding out that you were adopted. It's even tougher when you learn that your birth parents were murdered, and it becomes frankly impossible when your adoptive parents are also murdered a few hours later. After that, discovering that you've been spied on your entire life by an international organisation called Daedalus, getting attacked by werewolves and shapeshifters, learning that you have a blind manipulative twin brother and a connection to a carefree girl with all the survival instincts of a lemming, finding out that the three of you have special powers and that this is why people want to see you dead... well, there's a limit to how shocked you can continue to be. With the bodies continuing to pile up, though, it's definitely tricky to stop being worried. Still, at least Karlos can rely on the mysterious Oracle and his predictions about the future. After all, there must be somebody who hasn't lied to him, right?
