An homage to such literary classics such as 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'The Wizard of Oz,' 'The Orphan King' is a dark fairy tale about a ten year old orphan boy named Lewis who, after ten long years of abuse inflicted upon him by both his fellow orphans as well as by that of the orphanage's head mistress, discovers that he is meant for something more. Lewis learns that ten years ago, on the very day of his birth, he was brought to the realm of Earth from a land called Elysium to hide him from his evil sister, Princess Ravana, who, in an attempt to seize the throne of Elysium, killed his parents and tried to kill him, being that as the first born male he was now next in line for the throne, taking away any chance Ravana held at becoming Queen. But then it was, when the Princess killed his parents and forced him to flee to the Earth realm, that there was nothing to stop her from taking the throne; a throne that was rightfully his.Now, with the help of his royal guardian and a few friends they meet along the way, Lewis travels back to the land of Elysium to challenge his sister's rule and restore the once beautiful and peaceful kingdom back to its former glory.
