The Shadow of an Orphan's Legacy
In the feudal realm of Araluen, fifteen-year-old Will faces the most important day of his life-Choosing Day-when castle wards are selected for apprenticeships that will determine their futures. Small and wiry, Will lacks the physical build for Battleschool but possesses remarkable agility, stealth, and climbing skills. His entire identity is built around a single hope: that he might become a knight like the father he never knew, a hero who supposedly died fighting the evil lord Morgarath fifteen years ago. While his wardmates seem destined for specific paths-diplomatic Alyss, culinary Jenny, scholarly George, and athletic Horace-Will's future remains uncertain. The night before the ceremony, after enduring Horace's taunts of "Will No-Name," he escapes to his sanctuary in the castle's fig tree, watching as lights dim across the fortress. His anxiety isn't just about rejection-it's about identity itself. Without family or heritage, Will's apprenticeship represents his only chance to become someone of value in a world that measures worth by one's craft and calling. What makes Will compelling isn't just his orphan status-it's how he's responded to his circumstances. Those very traits making him unsuitable for knighthood have prepared him for a different path entirely-one he cannot yet imagine but that will test whether courage comes from physical strength or something deeper within.
