Ollie Warne is fresh out of nursing school and working his dream job as a paediatric nurse at London's St Cross Hospital, tending to sick children in the cardiology ward. Whilst on the night shift, Ollie is called to care for eight year old Daisy struggling after heart surgery. Her father, Jacob Mallone, never leaves her side apart from the times her mother comes to visit. Striking up a friendship based on sneaking takeaways into the ward, late night card playing and the occasional breaking up of domestic fights, Ollie begins to think there is more to Jacob than meets the eye. Having a track record of falling for the wrong man, Ollie adds this one to his list of no-go's. But Jacob seems to cling to Ollie, making it all the more difficult to convince himself that, this time, he won't feel a thing.

*Book 1 in the Chronicles of Orelon* Have you ever felt like you don't belong? Are you an outcast - a loner no matter how many times you move and get a fresh start? Do you get constantly stared at like you're the star attraction at a freak circus show? No? Well I congratulate you for that. Why do I ask?..... Maybe it's because I can't help but wonder why I'm so different from everyone else. Why I'm....Unusual. Why everyone avoids me like I have the flue. Why they watch me constantly with their questioning gazes. Why they sometimes even act afraid of me. But I can't blame them, if I was in their position I'd probably be the same. I guess, it's because they can't help it. It's only natural.... To be afraid of the Unknown. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Sixteen year-old Callon Bates is what you might call - the mysterious kid always sitting at the back of the class. Zero friends and never lives in the same town for more than two years. He thinks because of a few abnormalities, that he's a "Freak." A person bound to be exiled for the rest of his life. But what he doesn't know; Is that he's the last surviving Dark Elf. And not only that, but he's the sole heir to a broken kingdom that's in a completely different world. This is a story of how a insecure young man finds there's more to life than just surviving.
