THE ORB OF MALICE

Seventeen-year-old Dre Malik Washington, an overlooked American exchange student in Tokyo, is transported with his classmates to Eryndor and dismissed as useless when he receives a mysterious black orb. The orb is secretly the Genesis Core, an evolving source of observation, replication, resurrection, and creation, whose consciousness, Malice, may transform Dre into an antihero powerful enough to challenge the kingdom, its chosen heroes, and the laws of existence.
