Broken Beginnings: The Realm Series

by C.R. Rice

Before he was the uplifting light to a broken Realm, Thane was just a kid with a perfect sports, friends, and the world's coolest mom. His life was perfect.
Until darkness came calling.
On an ordinary Wednesday night, his mother was violently ripped from his side, bringing his happiness to a screeching halt. Angry and alone, Thane is thrust into a strange new home with an even stranger, girl obsessed with a fox-eared headband. This isn't just a backstory; it's the devastating, raw look at how one boy's perfect life was shattered, forcing him headfirst into a world of magic, war, and a destiny he never asked for.
