Kaleb Nation, author and blogger of The Twilight Guy fame, who turned 20 in 2008, presents the first book in his series, Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse.

Bran Hambric was found locked in a bank vault at six years old,
with no memory of his past. For years, he has lived with one of the
bankers, wondering why he was left behind -- until one night, when
he is fourteen, he is suddenly confronted by a maddened creature,
speaking of Bran’s true past and trying to kidnap him.

Bran finds that he is at the center of a plot which started
years before he was even born: the plot of a deadly curse his mother
created…and one that her former masters are hunting for him to
complete.

Haunted by the spirit of his mother’s master and living in a city
where magic is illegal, Bran must undo the crimes of his
past...before it is too late.
