Orphan by H. Jonas Rhynedahll

Mar has survived his whole life by staying quick, staying hidden, and stealing what he needs. An orphan raised on the rooftops of Khalar, he knows how to escape trouble—until one reckless theft goes disastrously wrong. Forced to flee the city with only a half-mad scrapper for company, Mar is driven into the deadly Waste, where survival itself seems impossible.

Instead of death, he finds a door. Beyond it lies the buried legacy of an older age: forgotten knowledge, dangerous power, and the truth that magic is not gone. In Mar’s world, magic is feared and those touched by it are hunted. But forces set in motion long before his birth are already closing around him. Now a street thief who wanted only to live another day must face ancient secrets, deadly enemies, and a fate far greater than he ever imagined.
