Fairyless by J.W Murrison

Fairyless isn’t your run of the mill fluffy fairy story, neither is it a weird slasher horror. On the day of the Choosing; when all the children are gathered at kindergarten waiting for the fairies to come; Manu Is as excited as his friends; but when the fairies leave to return to the woods, he is the only child standing without a fairy life’s companion. Fairyless, he is beaten and bullied by his former friends, teachers and the fairies alike. He comes to hate fairies, and humanity as a whole. At age 17 he gets into a fight with an Orc, and his life changes. Impressed by the Fairyless human’s honesty, Master Joun takes him on as a delivery driver in his Orc delivery service as a delivery driver. Six years later, Manu has a home of his own, a life he never dreamed possible, and in Master Joun and his family, a family of his own that he loves and trusts. When a terrorist bomb kills the fairy King and most of his family, the three survivors escape through the sewers and come up through Manu’s drainpipes. Despite his hatred for them, Manu is forced to help when the finger of blame is pointed straight at the Orcs, and the people he has came to love and respect.
