Book one in The Orphan's Code gives us fierce, relatable characters, and a noble quest to root for. You will remember C.R.R. Hillin.HE CAME FROM NOTHING.With sheer force of will, Kayo's brother Liam managed to crawl from the gutters and free himself from parents who treated him like a slave, an orphanage that treated him like a prisoner, and an entire city that turned their backs on him. From nothing, he rose to become a vigilante who brought justice to the corrupt and greedy when no one else would, wielding fire and steel to give everyone, from the city guard to the tyrant king, what they deserved. He stood up for the poor, the outcast, and the downtrodden, and they crowned him as the Beggar's King.But now he's gone. And Kayo, who comes from less than nothing, can't take his place-even if he wanted to.Which he doesn't.AND SO DID SHE.She never had a name, or a home, or a family. She never needed one. But then an opportunity falls-literally-into her lap, and a group of outcasts just like her offer her a home. They even give her a name: Rose.That nameless girl would have robbed them blind and left them to starve or be captured. But Rose.that's someone new. And as the king cracks down on the city around her, Rose sees a chance to save the legacy of the Beggar's King and bring back to life the only man the king ever feared.

Legends rise from nothing-but living in their shadow can be just as deadly.
Kayo's brother Liam clawed his way out of the gutters with fire in his blood and fury in his chest. He escaped parents who treated him like a slave, an orphanage that caged him, and a city that turned its back. From nothing, he became a vigilante who punished the corrupt, defied the king, and gave the forgotten something to believe in.
They crowned him the Beggar's King.
Now he's gone.
And the weight of his legend presses down on the city he left behind. The outcasts want a symbol. The poor want a savior. The king wants his memory erased. Kayo wants none of it. He comes from less than nothing, and he refuses to step into his brother's shadow.
So the legacy looks elsewhere...
She never had a name. Or a home. Survival was enough-until she crosses paths with the remnants of the Beggar's King's network, people still fighting in Liam's name. Desperate for someone willing to act where Kayo will not, they offer her a place in their cause. They give her a name-Rose-and with it, a role in a rebellion already moving without him.
The girl she was would have taken what she needed and vanished. But this time, survival means choosing sides. As the crown's grip tightens and the city edges toward open revolt, Rose sees a chance to protect the fragile hope Liam left behind-and to become something Kayo refuses to be.
In a city where crowns are built on suffering and legends are paid for in blood, Kayo and Rose stand on opposite sides of the same inheritance. And both must decide what it will cost them to let a legend live-or finally die.
