ORIGIN the Chronicles of eldonia

When a hidden heir unleashes a forgotten power, six great houses rise, twelve ancient kingdoms awaken, and war ignites across two continents. Cairo Stormrider never asked to be a king‘s son-or the bearer of the Dawnforged lightning-but fate has marked him. Now hunted by fire, shadow, and prophecy itself, he must discover the truth behind his bloodline before Eldoria and Thaloria fall into darkness. This is the birth of a legend. The beginning of ORIGIN.Cairo Stormrider, a boy who grew up believing he was a nobody, discovers he is the last heir of the ancient Dawnforged bloodline-a power feared across Eldoria. When his hidden lightning awakens, King Eldric Stormrider claims him as his son, enraging his trueborn heirs, Arthur and Kaelen. Forced to flee as the Six Great Houses rise against him-Thundara, Greenheart, Smacksmas, Lunaria, Pyronox, and Riverclaw-Cairo is hunted by fire assassins, shadow creatures, and old prophecies. Guided by Theros, a mysterious old mage, and protected by Lyanna Leafwhisper of House Greenheart, Cairo enters a world of ancient forests, broken kingdoms, and long-forgotten secrets. But across the Sea Divide, the Twelve Kingdoms of Thaloria-elves, dwarves, witches, wizards, mages, and beasts-also awaken, sensing the return of the Dawnforged. Some want to crown him. Others want to kill him. This is the story of a hidden heir, the rise of ancient powers, and the beginning of a war that will decide the fate of two continents.
