Just before his 13th birthday, Aidan learns of a prophecy that holds the key to ending the terrible war that ravages his country of Lionsgate. Aidan must leave his home to fulfill his destiny and bring peace to the land. Orphan friends Lilly and McKenzie join Aidan on an amazing adventure as they journey across the land. Along the way, Aidan and his friends learn the true meaning of courage, the importance of compassion, and the value of friendship.
“Aidan of Oren has the right combination of 'old world' dialogue and chapter-ending cliff hangers that feed a child’s inquisitive nature,” says 3rd grade teacher Michelle Duncan from Ohio; “my students can’t wait for the sequel.” Nayda Rondon of Dolls Magazine calls Aidan of Oren “engaging and entertaining; it’s a magical adventure from beginning to end. A really fun read!” Librarian Steven Midthun of Milwaukee, WI comments that “St. Jean’s book moves along nicely and will be well received by young readers who are beginning to enjoy book-length fantasy stories.”
