The Lone (Orphaned) Wolf
Who needs parents, anyway? 🙂‍↔️ These stories follow main characters who are either orphaned, or may as well be. Some are searching for a family, others for meaning in life, and sometimes even romantic love. Regardless, we'll root for them no matter what! Check these out if you're a fan of "found family," the classic "sad British orphan," or first love tropes.

I'm still building this list out, so if you have any suggestions lmk in the comments!! 🤗
Great list!! :) I’d recommend adding The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sandu Mandanna & Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson!
Added and thanks you! You actually reminded me of a book I read where a young witch was abandoned by/kicked out of her coven. 🤔 there’s a lot of wiggle room here! 🙌
