The main character starts as an orphan of murdered parents (Jommy Cross can tell you this is a sure-fire crowd-pleaser, as can Hamlet and Kal-el) whose fame is a burden rather than a blessing, hated by everyone and yet the destined savior of the world, the misunderstood boy with the secret magic -- no child alive has not felt this way, or wished for it.
