The Orphan

ebook

Discover the history behind the mystery of the epic New York Times bestselling series Seven Wonders with this original novella.

In Seven Wonders Book 2 we met Daria, a twelve-year-old orphan abandoned among the Babylonians. This fast-paced adventure follows Daria as she infiltrates the King's Garden to steal a magical pomegranate and to outrun the royal guards across crumbling rooftops.

The ruthless royal guards soon chain her loyal friend for public execution atop the soaring tower of Etemenanki. The Orphan chronicles her valiant battle to rescue her best friend from certain death and to escape the only city she's ever called home.

Peter Lerangis sets the desperate rescue against the creeping peril of Sippar, a shifting veil of dark enchantment that encircles the ancient empire. Read the stories. Join the quest. The Seven Wonders await.
