In the Wake of Dreams
Orin Stonehaven has always found comfort in the quiet, familiar rhythms of his childhood home, surrounded by the love and security of his family. But when a gentle urging from his mother and the adventurous spirit of his father push him toward the unknown, Orin is drawn into a world beyond the boundaries he’s always known.
As he ventures into the uncharted wilderness near his town of Lightfire, Orin stumbles upon a new path that leads him to an awe-inspiring view of the ocean—an image that stirs something deep within him, something he can't quite name. It is there, on the edge of the cliff, that he encounters Elara Thorne, a free-spirited and adventurous girl who makes him question the stillness of his life. With her encouragement, Orin begins to wonder if there is more to the world—and to himself—than he ever imagined.
The deeper Orin goes into this world and the ties that bind him, the more he realizes that his life is full of unknowns, and stepping outside his comfort zone means facing fears he never knew existed. With Elara by his side, he starts to embrace the idea that life, like the wilderness, is meant to be explored and lived fully, even when the path forward seems uncertain.
